I was reading an article in Road and track about a woman who went to get three tire replaced (the other was replace two years ago) and her husband told her to have the older tire moved to the rear. This is on a front wheel drive car. Michelin told her that the worn tires are supose to be placed in the front which is the industry's standard. The explaination was if you had a rear blowout you will have an unpredictiable oversteer but if a front tire blows out you will have a heavy understeer which can be controled better. Does everyone agree with this article? I would think your steering tires should be the best always and a front wheel drive car is even more reason to have your good tires in the front. You learn something new every day even if you don't agree with it.
