Can you put new tires on the front and move the front tires to the rear?

This is an age-old question. Personally, I ALWAYS have the best rubber on the front regardless front-wheel drive or rear. The MOST dangerous place to have a blowout at highway speeds is the left front (driving on the right countries). A blowout tends to pull the vehicle suddenly to the left, i.e., TOWARD oncoming vehicles.
Having good tires all the way around is important, certainly, but if you buy a pair at a time, I advise the newest go in front, the older in the rear, and the best of the two being replaced goes to the spare.

Should you put the 2 good tires on front or rear of car?
I am no expert, but I would put only two new tires on my front wheel drive car, I always put the best pair in the front. I am not good with cars but 2 be honest i think you should put the 2 new tires on the back because the back wheels are the 1s that move the car and they need better mobility
Replacing two tires - should they go on the front or back?
The new tires should be placed on the rear axle to lessen the risk of hydroplaning.
Can you replace the front tires only on a 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L?
Yes you can, but the tire store will probably (and should) insist that they put the new tires on the rear of the car and move the rear tires to the front. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but believe me, if you get into a situation where you are turning and your tires slip, you want the front to break loose first. If that happens, the car will simply not turn and your reaction is to slow down. If the rear tires break loose first, you will spin out. Pro drivers know to turn the wheels in the opposite direction, hit the accelerator and get ready to compensate when the rear end whips around. The average driver will hit the breaks and spin out or overcompensate and whip around the other way. Bottom line, when getting only two new tires, put them on the rear regardless of whether it is a RWD or FWD.
Should you put 2 new tires on front or rear for a rear wheel drive car?
Most people will say the rear, in order to reduce the risk of fishtailing.
Do your front and rear tires need to be the same size for your 4 wheel drive to work properly Just installed new tires and rf wheel assembly and feels like the rf or front is slipping?
yes they should be the same size otherwise the front and rear tires will be turning at different speeds and could ruin front axle or transfer case.
Will putting new tires on the rear drive and leaving worn tires on the front rear of a mack tandem truck cause a change in gear ratio in the rears thus causing damage to the peanuts in the front rear?
that wont hurt a thing, you just dont want a new tire next to a worn out one on the same axel
Where do you install a pair of new tires on a rear wheel drive car?
You should always install 2 new tires on the rear of the vehicle, regardless of where the drive wheels are. The reason for this is that it is much easier to control understeer (the front wheels sliding out) than oversteer (the rear wheels sliding out). This is why if you are unable to replace all 4 tires at the same time, you always want your newer tires on the rear.
Should 2 new tires be placed on front of car or re?
In my opinion the new tires go up front. The steering tires need the grip.
What causes minivan to shake in rear at 65 mph It started after we had front and rear breaks checked and 4 new tires put on. I'm told we have 2 slightly bent wheels. Could this cause it?
Did it shake before you had the tires put on? It sounds like your tires are out of balance. I had new tires put on and had to go back next day because of shaking at 60 mph. Come to find out the tire balancing was off.
Is it better to get front tires or back tires when you cant afford all four?
It is recommended my many tyre manufacturers to have new tyres fitted to the rear of your car. the reason for this is simple, if you loose grip on the front of your car you can regain control by straitening your steering lifting off the brake or accelerator pedal etc. If you loose control of the rear of your car you will spin out with no way of regaining control. so, put new tyres on the rear of your car
