I always put best on front.
I had this conversation with my tire shop.

He said best should be on REAR for stability, especially in rain and you are less likely to loose control in a corner if going too fast.
I said all my steering and most of my braking is on the front. Basically everything that controls the car is up front..
I asked him what am I more likely to have happen when I leave the parking lot. A sudden rain storm or a corner i didn't see, or an idiot pull out in front of me, run a red light, or do something stupid I have to avoid.

He put the good ones up front as I asked but told me he is supposed to go by industry standards for liability reasons.

The problem with the good tires on the rear is it is not taking into account the real world we live in.


Here in the real world I have to avoid idiots far more than rain or taking a corner too fast.
