New tyres...front or rear?

[172blue]

Heard some conflicting info on this one. If you are replacing a pair, do you put them on the front or the back and move the slightly worn ones the other way?

imo new on front, weight etc and most wear will happen hear, move slightly worns to the rear for more stabilty.

somone will prob correct me but oh well i get used to it on here lol.

New ones on the back, understeer is easier to control than oversteer.

Cheers mate, that was exactly what I was looking for, and does confirm what my mobile tyre fitter guy was saying, who did really seem to know his stuff!
