Along with all the posts in the thread the OP admits he needs new tires
anyway...

The latest information I have read is that the best tread should be
mounted
to the rear axle.

2x on that. Best tires on the rear axle. It's easier to control a blowout on
the front, you can still steer.
Rear blowouts are prone to causing the rear to come around, IE spin out.

That's not the reason though. The reason is the rear end needs to stay
BEHIND you, and with less tread on the rear, it WILL come around just
when you least expect it. This is why in MOST jurisdictions it is
ILLEGAL to put snows on the front only on a front wheel drive car.
