This is all such a crock if crap. Nobody is running 2 junk tires and 2 good tires. Since all 4 should be serviceable. If it's front wheel drive I prefer the the deeper tread on the front for traction in poor weather. Same with rear wheel drive. I would place them on the rear for traction. Now if you dont drive in snow. It probably doesn't matter either way.

We get snow and ice on the roads here almost every year, my wife's 1996 Camry and my 2006 Ram 35004x4 have two sets of wheels and tires, one for winter (November 1st to April 1st usually, (depending on the state allowing them sooner or longer based on local conditions) and the other sets for the rest of the year
BTW DVW, her Camry has ended up with two different sizes and brand winter tires on it several years due to them wearing differently and me being cheap on buying used studded snow tires for the rear
That car is only driven locally now in the winter due to having over 250,000 miles on it now
