Best Location for Worn Snow Tires - F or R?

[Driver8]

Hi Gary - Got my Dunlop Wintersport M3s Monday...thanks so much!

You may recall that I am running four of them, and my rears wore out before my fronts. The fronts are acceptable, the rears are no longer of any value.

My question is, would you recommend that I run the new ones in front or in the back? (I have an '06 750i.) I may end up just buying two more in the end to have four full-tread depth tires, but thought I would ask your opinion before I pull the trigger.

Thanks! As always, it was a pleasure doing business with you and with Tire Rack.

Mike

Install the newer tires in the rear for best results.

Glad we could help.

Putting the rear tires on the back is safest. If you put new tires on the front with worn tires on the rear, the car will be very prone to oversteer.
