I always change all 4 tires coz I rotate every 15-20k kms (except with my current car coz I'm using staggered sizes). Anyway if I change just 2 tires, I'd usually put them at the front because I'd want that responsive steering and better braking even though it might not be the safer choice due to more risk of oversteer.

new tire will always put at the front no matter what car layout it is
ff/fr/4wd/mr

reason...

understeer - your life will be fxxked no matter how good you are , you cant save it

oversteer - life is at your hand and your foot , sense your accl properly with control skill of your hand and you will pass the ultimate test

You use front and rear different tyre size then this topic not for you. You can change front for front, and rear for rear only........hahhahahhaa

Safety view : New tyre should fit to rear, if anything slip, front still able to steer back, while rear cant.
Eco view : Front wear faster, if new tyre fit rear, then u have to change another 2 tyre for front very soon.

Front engine front wheel drive = new tyre at front..

old time argument...

I dont care what ever theory any expert made. I strongly believe on my own driving experiences. My opinion, newer tyre should always be at front. In most oversteer case due to "lesser thread tyre" (older tyre) put on rear is when u overspeed over water pond at sharp corner. In normal straight road, the front tyre is used to cut over water pond and it will created a temporary "longkang" for rear tyre to go through it. One more thing, front tyre also steer-able and this wayer pond will bring a force to steering wheel and make it difficult to control (especially for those boy-racer who sit really far from steering wheel and hold the steering with straight hand like fast n furious movie's hero style).

I agree. And mostly in city driving somemore, most braking is done at the front.

Braking, yes more in front but the rear locks easier. If rear bald more easy to skid.....my car no abs ok....hahhahahahhaa

 

[Waiora_ProTuner]

if bald put anywhere also dangerous...bar the spare tyre..

the point is less thread located and the tyre which requires less works..

This argument again?

Knnccbbq. Change all 4 when 1 or 2 is worn.

Enough of story.

Not all can change all 4 like you....heh! heh!

The tyre manufacturer have already voiced out how their product is to be used, but being the owners who have purchased the tyres, they got the right to put where they want, whether new in front or rear. For us of course we follow manufacturer advise and will also recommend others to follow them. Whether they follow or not we cannot do anything else....
