    However, if the front tires have significantly more tread depth than the rear tires, the rear tires will begin to hydroplane and lose traction on wet roads before the fronts. This will cause the vehicle to oversteer (the vehicle will want to spin). Oversteer is far more difficult to control and in addition to the initial distress felt when the rear of the car starts sliding, quickly releasing the gas pedal in an attempt to slow down may actually make it more difficult for the driver to regain control, possibly causing a complete spinout.
    6 Common Tire Myths Debunked

    2. When replacing only two tires, the new ones go on the front.

    The truth: Rear tires provide stability, and without stability, steering or braking on a wet or even damp surface might cause a spin. If you have new tires up front, they will easily disperse water while the half-worn rears will go surfing: The water will literally lift the worn rear tires off the road. If you're in a slight corner or on a crowned road, the car will spin out so fast you won't be able to say, "Oh, fudge!"

    There is no "even if" to this one. Whether you own a front-, rear- or all-wheel-drive car, truck, or SUV, the tires with the most tread go on the rear.
    Should you fit new tyres to the front or rear?

    CONCLUSION

    To give the best possibilities of a vehicle handling safely when fitting new tyres to a vehicle in pairs, it is advisable to fit the new tyres to the rear axle.

    If only two tires are being replaced, Michelin generally recommends they be installed on the rear axle in the absence of a tire service professional's recommendation or consumer's preference to the contrary.

    As I understand that is if you realky need to replace the tires. But if not yet for replacement. No problem putting a new tire in front.

    I could be wrong though.

    For Front Wheel drive cars, put the new tires up front. Since those wheels do the driving, braking & steering at the same time

    He bought a tire from a reputable service centre with warranty... Before the warranty ends, I-run flat nya konti yung tire para mag karoon ng side wall damage...

    Tire gets replaced and the new tire will have a warranty again, same procedure later...

    What I don't understand is the practice of replacing 2 tires only per time. Sa kumpanya ganyan and I never questioned that practice for as long as palitan nila ako ng gulong.

    tingin ko nagtitipid kasi pino-prolong mo yung buhay yung 2 mong gulong na hindi mo agad papalitan. also, not everyone has the capacity to immediately buy 4 tires... ang mahal din nun lalu na kung walang extrang budget.
    kahit kasi i-rotate mo yung gulong mo every given mileage (I practice 10K kms), napansin ko na di pa rin pantay pantay yung pudpod nung 4 na gulong. ako honestly 2 lang din plano kong palitan, kaso nag 40% off si bridgestone kaya pinilit ko ng 4 ang palitan... tsaka syempre approved ni misis kaya go agad ako.

    Same here. Masakit sa bulsa, pero okay na rin, isang bagsakan na lang.

    Most experts say replace the rears before the fronts because stability during a blowout is largely dependent on the rear and it's much harder to control the rear if that's where the blowout is.

    I still change the fronts first instead of the rears because the only time I don't change the rears at the same time is if they still have plenty of tread left and are still in good condition.

    Also, the tires take forever to scrub in at the rear. Mainipin at matigas din kasi ulo ko hehe

    Ok... Sensya na. I've read your links and they are right...

    Then I realized na depende yan sa experience and skill ng driver.

    So sa mga wala pang experience masabugan ng gulong... Please follow the expert's advice.

    I have my reasons based on personal experience/personal skill kung bakit sa harap ko linalagay new tires ko, and sa likod yung alanganin na.

    Here's a sample of worn tires (hindi pa nga super pudpod yan) suddenly oversteering on a damp road:



    The usual response of drivers when their car loses control is to stomp on the brakes. If I did that, the car would've continued to oversteer and I could've spun and hit the motorcycle driver on the other side of the road.

    That's on a FWD car, if you have a RWD like a pickup or PPV, the propensity to oversteer is higher. My officemate before suffered the same conditions but wasn't as fortunate - his car oversteered, he overcorrected, hit a side rail, and then his car turned turtle and landed on the other side of the road. Thankfully he was okay but his car was totalled.

    In comparison, understeering is easier to correct by simply letting go of the gas pedal and waiting for the car to regain its traction.

    Afaik, newer tires should be placed in the rear to prevent fish tailing.
    To make your tires last longer, rotate them every 10k km and include the spare.

    The tire rotation I do is when I see uneven wear, nilalagay ko yung hindi pa pudpod duon sa pudpod so maghahabulan sila, so palit ako ng apat pag super pudpod na lahat.

    My Kumhos are now at 35,000 km travelled and I'll probably replace them in the next 2 months. Eyeing the GT SX2 or Yoko Advan V701 - I want something grippy, I need something that lasts long.

    Bro, i jusr switchef to dunlop LM704s and they are very grippy.

    This may sound stupid but i tried sliding on a wet rooftop parking lot kasi dumudulas daw according sa reviews. So far wala naman.
