Another vote for best tires to the rear.
If you have a blow out on a front tire, you can directly control the direction of travel with the steering wheel. Rear tire not so much. Odds of new tire blowing out should be less than older tires.

I would disagree with the absolute conclusion vehicle stability/control is more upset by rear tire blow out vs front steering axle, I feel its the opposite.
The vehicle is going tend to go in the direction of the blowout. If the front left goes boom, it's a matter of turning the steering wheel to the right to stay out of oncoming traffic. If the rear left goes, you actually would have to steer towards oncoming traffic should it step out of line to keep it gathered up and depending on circumstance and skill level, could still lose control.
