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?

Best tires on the front to help with emergency braking.

In emergency braking, weight shifts to the front, providing increased
frictional force.

Think about what you just said.

As the extra weight shifts to the front, the weight will increase the
traction. Therefore, the increased traction compensates for the less
tread. I can't shift weight to the rear, so the rear tires have more
chance of skidding if they have less tread.

I stand corrected. Michelin says the better tires go on the back.
