[QUOTE="wc9922, post: 287275, member: 6000"] On RWD cars, the rear will wear out faster as these are the drive wheels. The wear is even across the width of the tire. The front wheels on RWD cars would then only be for steering purposes. The wear pattern will differ, having more scrubbing type wear on the outer edges due to cornering forces. This will be wear less than the rears. Where to put 2 fresh tires.... front or back, both arguments will work, but I would put them in the front 1st as to wear out the old fronts next so u get to change the other 2 within a short period of time.
