Where do I install my pair of new tires, front or rear axle?

Question:
Is it better to put my new tires on the front or the rear axle of my car (front or rear wheel drive)

Answers:

please, i'm really worried (uk only)?

I suggest you put them on the rear. A blown-out rear tire will make the car very difficult to control. Ever seen how cops will bump the rear corner of a fugitive's car during a pursuit? It's an easy way to put a car into a spin.

can i drive u-haul with a class c?


You can still steer a car with a blown front tire.

If you only have 2 tyres always put them on the front no matter what. You need the most grip on the front wheels because they steer the car

I've heard both. Conventional wisdom says to put them on the front, because they can be balanced better than old tires, and they have more tread, which helps them handle better, steer easier, and to keep them from hydroplaning. However, I think it's Michelin that recommends that new ones be put on the back. I either put them up front or get all four at the same time.

You put them on the drive wheels, whichever those are. Just like when you put snow chains on, they go on the drive wheels.

ladies and gents, its a simple question. is uk left or right hand driving?

You really ought to change all four at the same time and keep them rotated so they wear evenly, but.. if you are like me, sometimes you end up with two good tires and two worn out tires.

Question concerning driving on the freeway?

In any everyday driver car it should be the back, unless your other pair is really worn and your FWD vehicle really needs the grip. The reason for this is since most cars are front engined the back of the car is really light. Therefore you need as much grip as possible there in bad weather conditions for safety. If you have really bald tires in the back your front grip is not going to save you! Most likely you'll be fishtailing and spinning out in any case of hydroplaning, ice, snow, etc.

Has anyone ever had their vehicle brakes fail while driving?


If you have a rear wheel drive there should be no question. For FWD consider the state of your other tires first, then your skill and driving conditions if you decide to put them in the front. For example in snow you might appreciate the grip in the front more than a stable rear end.

New tires should always go on the front, even if its rwd. The front tires do more work and abuse (steering ) on rwd and even more (steering and driving) on fwd.
