Where should you put your worst tires? I say put them on the front. If
you have a tire problem you can control a skid best if the problem is
with the tire on the front. If the problem is on the rear the skid will
be a lot harder to control. What do ya`ll think?


Bad tires go to the recycling place.

Best tires go on the back,
Good or better tires on the front.

I see many answer to put the good tires on the front. That was the common
method for many years, but now it is proved that the better tires should go
on the rear. I cannot recall where I saw it, but a web site has a video
showing why and it does make sense.


That's what I would think, too. The back end had better stay back there.
OTOH, a blowout in the front can ruin your day, too. Modern tires don't tend
to self-destruct that way, though.
