I did not rotate my tires as I should have. I moved the worn front tires to the rear about a year ago. Today I decided the rear tires needed to be replaced. The front tires are still good.
I wanted the tire shop to replace the worn rear tires, and then move them to the front. Because front tires wear faster, I wanted the new tires in front.
They refused to do it. They said they only install 2 new tires in the rear. They handed me a Michelin brochure that stated that it was more stable in wet conditions to have the tires with the most traction in the rear.
Screw 'em. I 'll rotate the good tires to the front myself. I would rather have the tires with the most traction in front when I am driving on snow in the mountains. I also would rather have the least worn tires in the front, because the front tires are subject to faster wear.
