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

Having driven competetively I'd have to dissagree.

Yes, I think it very much depends on the vehicle (FWD or RWD, manual or
slushbox, weight distribution etc.) and the road conditions. A couple of
my RWD cars showed a lot of natural oversteer, but were quite
controllable whenever the back end did decide to get out of line - for
those I think I would have put as much grip as I could get on the front
rather than the back.

But the BEST is to have all 4 tires up to snuff.

Or five if you're carrying a spare
