basically the tyres on the front although still have loads and loads of tread they are absolutely **** not grip what so ever, anyway im not sure which way round i read it once but is it advised to have the tyres with more grip on the rear or the front?

i was planning on swapping the fronts and backs over but i keep thinking that someone said the tyres with grip should be on the rear.

i'd rather have the most grip at the front, being a front wheel drive car and all? no?

but then if you have less grip at the rear, the back end could be more likely to be willing to step out i guess

id always keep the more tread on the rear, you dont want your rear end coming out on you.

also i dont know how to explain it but because its fwd the front tyre grip the road more and there more weight there imo

best tyres should be on the rear. its safer to have a bit of understear rather than oversteer.
