I bought two new tires. Should the new tires go in the front or the back and why?

Answer 1

Which are the drive wheels? If fwd, in the front, if rwd, in the back.

Answer 2

It depends on if you have a front wheel or rear wheel drive car, and also what do the other tires look like......If you have a rear wheel drive car, and the 2 tires that you didnt change are still good, then the new ones should go on the rear, where the power actually goes and your traction is mainly coming from...and vice cersa for front wheel drives...usually the new tires go where the power goes....that is the main driving and controlling force of the car so you definately want the most traction and control at those wheels....

If you happen to have an Audi or Evo or some other AWD then go grab two more, always change 4 on awd's if you can afford to...

Answer 3

If the other 2 are not bald headed
You normally place them to get the best drive traction..
ie..Front-wheel drive on the front
Rear-wheel drive on the rear
If the other 2 are questionable put them on the front for steering control

Answer 4

Always in the front because new tires are not knocked around and are likely to be safer a rear tyre that blows is easier to handle than a front blowout .

Answer 5

In the front. since they wil wear faster. Unless your back ones are bald. If they are bald, move them to the front so the car doesn't slid out when you are going around a turn.

Be sure to rotate them so they dont wear out unevenely so you won't have mismatched tires again!

Answer 6

I put the new tires on the front, that is the most critical area on the car, the steering.

Answer 7

The front gets worn down faster than the back

Front, definatly

Answer 8

This depends on the drive. Is your car front wheel drive or rear wheel. If its front they go on the front if its rear wheel drive, they go on the back...
