When you only need two tires, you'd think they would go on the front of a front-wheel-drive, but it's the opposite.
That's because when the rear tires on a front-wheel-drive lose grip, it's almost impossible to keep control of the vehicle. I have experienced this at Continental's test track in Uvalde, Texas.
It's one of the Ten Commandments of the tire business, one manufacturer and tire professionals all agree on -
When you only need two new tires, put them on the rear axle.
Watch Michelin demonstrate why you always put two new tires on the rear axle.
