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.
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.
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
How do you do front brakes on a 1988 Toyota Celica?

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.
Should I purchase all new tires at the same time; or should I rotate the back to the front in an attempt to get more tread life out of them?
Generally when purchasing tires for a vehicle how many you should purchase depends on the type of vehicle you drive. For all wheel drive or four wheel drive vehicles it is recommended to replace all four tires at a time to be sure all tread patterns match. For front or rear wheel drive vehicles the tires on both the front and rear axle should match each other and can be purchased in sets of two if needed. Tire rotation is generally done to maintain the tread life on your tires and tread life warranty from the manufacturer if any. Without rotating your tires they will suffer from excessive treadwear that can lead to early replacement. Tires should be rotated at intervals of every 6,000 to 7,000 miles or every second oil change to maximize tire life, rotating tires is designed to extend your tires life and won't help if your tires already need replacing.
Should the new tires put on in front or on the back?
You put them wherever they are needed. If the threads are bare then they need replacing by law. See a car professional. If possible, put the best tires at the back. When braking(hard), the weight at the rear of the car will be momentarily reduced, making it easier for those wheels to break free and skid. By having the tires with the best grip at the rear you reduce that risk a little.
Do you have to align you front end with new tires?
Good idea TO DO SO
Why do you mount 2 new tires in the back instead of the front?
I have always wondered that and can see no logical reason. I almost always put new tires on front so I have better steering. Unlike many people, I also keep a very close eye on my alignment and have it checked and adjusted at least every 2 years.
In a 4 wheel drive vehicle RAV 4 which tires should be changed first the front or back if you can't buy all four at the same time?
Replace the ones with the least tread left. Put the new tyres on the rear.
Should i get an alignment before or after new tires?
You sould have the new tires mounted FIRST, then have them do the alignment at the same visit.
How do you adjust the steering drag link on a riding mower?
Some of the new models have threads and lock nuts on each end. Loosen the lock nut on each end. Take a ruler (the folding wooden ones like carpenters use is best) and measure the distance between the front tires on the front side of the tires. Now measure the distance between the front tires on the back side. The back side should be about 1/4 inch wider. The drag link is made so when it is turned it will adjust both sides at same time. Recheck measurement. If OK, tighten lock nuts.
