I must offer a different opinion.
Tyre patch in contact with the road is the bit that does the work and
therefore the control of the vehicle stability.
Rear tyre patch does either, accelerate or brake. Only one at a time.
Front tyre patch must do steering and braking at the same time. This is a
considerable greater work load than the rear tyre patch. Front brakes do
the majority of the retardation work
In the case of a blow-out I would rather have control of the front wheels
rather than the 'following' rear tyre
I recently had a destroyed rear tyre on my Lexus 18 inch and apart from an
indication that something was wrong the car was reasonably stable and very
controllable.It was a straight highway situation. Agreed a different set of
tyre characteristics. But I would always have the best tyres on the front.
I agreed to sell my BN.4 as it wasn=B9t being used and compared to the 3000 i=
t
did not feel good. I agreed a sale which was to include new tyres. When I
replaced the old radials the car was transformed and I regretted the sale.
Such was the effect of new rubber. The main impact was the steering feel.

Others have said;
The newer or better tires should ALWAYS go on the rear. This is a safety
issue.
