For front-wheel drive cars, should new tires be placed in the front or the rear when replacing them?

[BeckettRose]

When the car is a front-wheel drive vehicle, the new tires should be placed in the front. Below are the reasons for placing the tires in the front and the situations where they should be placed in the rear: Reasons for placing tires in the front: Because the front wheels of a front-wheel drive car require higher grip, during sudden braking, the car's center of gravity shifts to the front. If the front wheels lack sufficient grip, it can easily lead to an accident. Therefore, new tires for front-wheel drive cars should be replaced on the front wheels. Situations where tires should be placed in the rear: For rear-wheel drive cars, it is best to replace the tires on the rear wheels. Since the power output of a rear-wheel drive car is at the rear wheels, the characteristics of rear-wheel drive make the rear wheels more prone to slipping. If the tread wear on the rear tires is severe, it is more likely to result in a loss of grip, posing a risk of the vehicle losing control. Therefore, if you are using a rear-wheel drive car, it is advisable to replace the new tires on the rear wheels to avoid the danger of losing control due to insufficient tire grip.
