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

Watch this video...some people might be surprised.

Answer: New tires go on the rear of the vehicle - FWD, RWD, 4WD or AWD

"Answer: New tires go on the rear of the vehicle - FWD, RWD, 4WD
or AWD"

Allow me to rephrase that...

Answer: The tires with the deepest tread go on the rear of the vehicle
- FWD, RWD, 4WD or AWD

If the new tires do not have as deep a tread as the old ones then they
should go on the front.
That was true with rear wheel drive and no ABS
As far as hydroplaning, yes it can be an issue with the over-width
tires on todays cars if they are bald. But driving in the rain in not
the majority of your driving - and hydroplaning conditions occur only
a few times a year for a few minutes at a time. A sensible driver just
slows down under those conditions. The REST of the time, better
traction on the front is more advantageous.

The video showing the hydroplaning shows drivers driving WAY TOO FAST
FOR CONDITIONS.
