Hello experts! I've tried searching on the Web (and on this forum board as well) and also asked tire shop owners about this.

On the Web, it says that the new tires should be placed on the Back. See the following links and videos:
1. Popular Mechanics

As for tire shop owners, they say that the new ones should go on the Front for lesser tendencies of "exploding front tires". Is this just a myth then?

Also, what are good, cheap but reliable brands for tires on a Honda CRV 2003? What's your suggestion/opinion regarding Dunlop, Yokohama, and Bridgestone?

BTW, I'm using a Honda CRV 2003.

Thanks!
