I suggest rear as well but check the build date on the other two and conside=
r replacement if between 5-10 years old regardless of tread wear=20

My thought was that I would put the new tyres on the front because in my experience the fronts seem to wear faster than the rears. Unless, of course, you want to wear the older tyres out first so that you can replace them too. It might depend upon the age of the older tyres & how much driving you do in a year. Or you could put both of the new tyres on the drivers side.

Hi Team

Due to an unfortunate puncture I have had to replace two still good tyres with new ones. The Other two are still good. I estimate still at least 60% tread left.

My question is, in the opinion of the Team, should the new Tyres go on the front or the rear?

  
Many thanks

Tim

I think what the videos showed that was if you design your
demonstration right you can show anything.  If the water was supplied
differently w/r to the curves and dry patches the results might have
been different.  There is no way to control the real world the same
way.

So can we conclude that the best thing is to replace all four
tires/tyres at the same time?

Opinions aside, Science proves over and over that on a WET TEST, performance will always be better with the new tires on the back. Period. It's not even close. 

Other conditions may have different results such as dry performance, or blowout control where there may be conditions that would favor a new tire in front.

Can anyone show any evidence to the contrary? empirical data? Anything besides an anecdote?

Similar arguments about seat belts make me laugh when that one guy always says something like "I'd rather be thrown clear" even though all evidence points to the obvious benefits wearing the belt.

Well, I'm convinced! There is no right answer to the original question. The 
answer is situational dependent and the event would be in the past--so, 
replace all 4 tyres and don't forget to check the spare for dry rot!

Hi
Thank you to all those who replied to my question. 

On the balance of replies I shall put the new Tyres on the front. I would
rather deal with a rear failure than a front failure.

I shall also take the advice of several people and will be checking the
age/condition of the remaining two tyres and replacing them if necessary.

All the best

The advice in those videos were for front wheel drive cars and you always
put the new tires on the rear for the reasons shown in the videos.  On a
rear wheel drive car, the validity of the info shown would be different.

A simple google search will show overwhelming results in favor of new tires on the rear no matter if it's front or rear wheel drive.

Tim,

How you can up with this decision is beyond me. First of all, the car being
front or rear wheel drive is totally IRRELEVANT.

Reference this article on the PM website on tire myths debunked...

*2. When replacing only two tires
<http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/repair/what-you-need-to-know-when-buying-new-tires-9451125>,
the new ones go on the front... FALSE*

The truth: Rear tires provide stability, and without stability, steering or
braking on a wet or even damp surface might cause a spin. If you have new
tires up front, they will easily disperse water while the half-worn rears
will go surfing: The water will literally lift the worn rear tires off the
road. If you're in a slight corner or on a crowned road, the car will spin
out so fast you won't be able to say, "Oh, fudge!"

There is no "even if" to this one. *Whether you own a front-, rear- or
all-wheel-drive car, truck, or SUV, the tires with the most tread go on the
rear*. Don't believe it? Watch this <http://youtu.be/--Hb5kQCaTg>.

This is just as important with a tire blowout or failure as it is with
hydroplaning.  Better to have a blowout on the front wheels versus the rear.

Drive safe.

Curt

On the balance of replies I shall put the new Tyres on the front. I would<b=

rather deal with a rear failure than a front failure.<br>

I shall also take the advice of several people and will be checking the<br>

I think the racers in this video didn=E2=80=99t get the memo on which end t=

Gets real interesting about 4 minutes into the video.  Only the French can =

Tim,

How you can up with this decision is beyond me. First of all, the car being=
 front or rear wheel drive is totally IRRELEVANT.  

2. When replacing only two tires <http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-=
to/repair/what-you-need-to-know-when-buying-new-tires-9451125> , the new on=
es go on the front... FALSE

The truth: Rear tires provide stability, and without stability, steering or=
 braking on a wet or even damp surface might cause a spin. If you have new =
tires up front, they will easily disperse water while the half-worn rears w=
ill go surfing: The water will literally lift the worn rear tires off the r=
oad. If you're in a slight corner or on a crowned road, the car will spin o=
ut so fast you won't be able to say, "Oh, fudge!"

There is no "even if" to this one. Whether you own a front-, rear- or all-w=
heel-drive car, truck, or SUV, the tires with the most tread go on the rear=
=2E Don't believe it? Watch this <http://youtu.be/--Hb5kQCaTg> .

This is just as important with a tire blowout or failure as it is with hydr=
oplaning.  Better to have a blowout on the front wheels versus the rear.

Drive safe.
