[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 287261, member: 4527"] I do not agree! We know how much thread we have and we can adjust our driving accordingly but at high speed, if there's a tyre that choose to explode, its more likely the old tyre and you pray its not your front tyre! That's why I always place the newer and better condition tyre at the front, if impossible a tyre that was not patched before. And new tyre actually has lesser grip than the old tyre on dry road because old tyre can provide more tarmac surface contact and that translates into grip. Moreover the silicon coating on all new tyres to prevent it from sticking onto the mold is slippery and takes time to wear off. [/QUOTE]
