I waited for some time to make the video "Is It Better To Put New Tires on the Front or Back?".

It all started with a social media post I did in 2015 about the subject. There was a video in that post that showed putting new tires in the back was the best option. Here's a link to that video.

I didn't agree with that and wanted to do some testing of my own. This video shows my results.

Some facts about the test vehicle. It's a FWD Acura Vigor with a 60/40 weight distribution. It's been aligned and has a good working suspension.

4 new tires are always the best option, but if you can only afford 2, I say put them on the front.

What are your thoughts?
