Everyone knows, or should know, the best tires go on the front. Especially on a FWD vehicle.

#1 You don't want a blow out on the steering axle.
#2 Front tires typically wear faster. Equalize wear on all 4 tires.
#3 Better control and traction on slick surfaces.

Never been in a shop where this wasn't observed.

Now the rotation procedure for non-directional radial tires is open to debate. Although I use the same old method we were taught years ago.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
