Hi folks,
I have always had rear wheel drive cars and if 2 tyres were more worn than the others I would buy 2 new tyres and fit them to the front wheels and then put the older ones on the back. Gives me better steering and braking while the rear tyres just push me in a straight line
My wife's car is front wheel drive, she needed 2 new tyres so I expected they would put the 2 new ones on the front for better steering and braking, move the 2 front ones which are still OK to the rear and toss the older rear ones.
They have advised her that for better grip in the wet it is better to have the new ones on the rear leaving the front ones as they were (about 60% tread so OK)
What do you guys do with front wheel drive cars when fitting 2 new tyres ?
