New tires always go in front?

back is the usually correct answer but what if the new tires are low rolling resistance ( eg ecopia 422) and the front tires are regular all season ? I put the ecopias on the back & it felt scary loose for awhile

You can't always rotate, some tyres are directional and some are sided or handed.


Or different sizes.

For those people there is no discussion on where to put new tires. This thread is not for them.

It is possible to rotate the tires between rear and front without crossing them from side to side => The direction of the tires is not changed.

And if the tire rotation feels like too much work, then it's better to put the better tires to the rear.
