" Some tire stores insist on installing two new tires on the rear wheels of vehicles when the fronts are worn, and moving the old rear tires to the front--much to the dismay of many customers who want the new tires on the front. So, who&amp;#039;s right? Actually, I agree with the stores, as do the tire companies. Here&amp;#039;s why: In dry, clear weather it really doesn&amp;#039;t make much difference. But if the road is wet, the new, full-treaded tires are less likely to lose traction than the partly worn ones. If you&amp;#039;re hauling ants down the road and come to a wet curve, the full-treaded tires on the rear will stay behind you, where they belong. If the rear tires have less tread, there&amp;#039;s a greater chance that they will slip, putting your rear bumper into the ditch. Okay, if the front tires skid, there&amp;#039;s the chance you might go off the road, too--but at least it&amp;#039;ll be headfirst, where your seatbelts and airbags offer more protection.
