because I had a blow-out and was running on the spare which is a dif tire than the others, I needed to buy at least 2 new ones asap - I had budgeted for 4 tires come April, but not now, 2 was all I could afford.
This is for my Ranger pickup, 6 ft bed, empty, so no wt in the back. I went to Sears and the guy talked me into mounting them in the front, said well all the wt from the engine, etc., is there (it's not 4WD or FWD, just regular) and it'd be better to put them in the front, old tires in the back.
ok - so I did that - and now reading the info from the tires - Michelin Defenders - it said new/better tread tires should always be mounted on the rear wheels first over the front - [censored]???
that's what I said!! why did I listen to this guy? and what was he talking about? I've never heard of mounting the better tire in the front!!
