In a FWD car, do newer tires go to front or rear?

Certainly FWD, but I think the question was which is easier to recover from an oversteer condition.

Low traction conditions will produce plenty of over steer and under steer.

This is the best point I have heard, however, its not that dramatic except under extreme circumstances.

The best thing to do is just suck it up and replace all 4 tires.
 
AWD, FWD, RWD....new tires to the rear, old to the front. Keep doing this and you should be golden.

reason is, collision.. if you have 100% front impact in a collision, all safety features should work properly... if rear wheels are good condition and they lock, you are more likely to skid straight...if rear wheels are in poor condition and they lock, you can fishtail and probably rollover...
