Should I put 2 new tires on front or back?
Is it OK to replace only 2 tires
If two of your tires wear out faster, it may only be necessary to replace those two instead of replacing all four. If you do, it's important to have the two new tires installed on the back and the partially worn tires moved to the front – even on front-wheel-drive vehicles.

Should mismatched tires go in front or back
Mixing tires with different tread depths
Mixing different tread depths is generally permissible. The tire industry recommends fitting the new tires onto the rear axle. This will provide greater grip to the rear axle and mitigate any potential oversteer condition or loss of vehicle stability on slippery surfaces.
Do tires wear faster on front or back
Under normal driving circumstances with a front-wheel drive vehicle (passenger cars, minivans, etc.), the front tires will wear at a slightly higher rate than the rear tires.
Is it better to get 2 new tires or 4
It's always best to replace all 4 tires at the same time. This is because all 4 tires spin independently of one another, and different tread depths and/or styles can cause them to spin at different speeds. That could potentially damage the drive train, and possibly affect an indirect TPMS system if the vehicle has one.
Can you just replace front tires
It doesn't matter whether your vehicle is a front-, rear-, or all-wheel-drive car: if you can only replace two tires, they should ALWAYS go on the rear axle.
Why replace two tires at a time
If half or more of the tread on all four tires is gone, replacing just one tire will result in one wheel spinning at a slower rate than the others, possibly sending false signals to the traction control and antilock braking systems.
Is it OK to mismatch front and rear tires
A car with mismatched front and back tires should still be usable, especially if it is a two wheel drive vehicle. Tires wear out at different rates, and if one is more worn than the other, simply rotating the tires may be a possibility to prevent further wear.
Does it matter if tires are on backwards
If directional tires get mounted backward, you won't get the hydroplaning resistance and other performance driving benefits the tread is designed for. Front and rear tires often wear at different rates. It is recommended to rotate standard tires between front and back and crossways to maximize lifetime mileage.
Which tires wear out first
Front tyres tend to wear faster, up to 2.5 times faster on some cars. The left front tyre has it the hardest. It is the most heavily loaded and responsible for transmitting most of the steering during right hand turns.
Why are my back tires wearing faster than front
Uneven tire wear is usually caused by improper alignment, overinflation, underinflation or a worn out suspension.
Is it worth having two sets of tires
Two sets of wheels are better. Your tires will easily last 4–5 years. Remounting them ten times over that period will run a minimum of $500 and likely more at a decent tire shop.
Do you have to replace all tires if one is bad
If your tires are pretty new, you may be able to get away with just replacing one or two tires. If your tires have worn down and there will be more than 4/32” difference between the new tires and old tires, you should get all new tires.
Which two tires to replace
When tires are replaced in pairs, the new tires should always be installed on the rear axle, and the partially worn tires should be moved to the front.
How many miles should front tires last
Your tires should last 50,000 to 60,000 miles on average. But that really depends on the manufacturer. Some manufacturers build their tires to last up to 80,000 miles, while some design their tires to last as little as 30,000 miles. You can see how many miles to expect out of a tire by checking its treadwear rating.
When replacing only 2 tires at a time it is best to put them on the front where all the steering and most of the braking takes place
The risks associated with oversteer are severe enough that the tires with the better tread (i.e., a pair of new tires) should always be mounted on the vehicle's rear wheels. There are “virtually no exceptions to this rule.” Sadly, most consumers have not been made aware of this important tire safety principle.
Do both tires have to be the same
The tread pattern and tire type that your tires have should be similar. That is, whether they're front or rear tires, you want all your tires to be the same model and have the same or similar tread condition.
How important are matching tires
A uniform set of front and rear tires improves the safety of your vehicle by giving it an even road grip. Matching tires also enhance your car's stability for optimal control.
Why do people put their tires on backwards
Many people like non-directional tires, as you can change the direction that they have been mounted any time that you want. This allows for more even wear on the tire, as uneven wear could lead to the steering wheel shaking while driving.
Does it matter which way tires go on
On standard tires with symmetrical tread patterns, it does not matter which way the tire is fitted on the rim and in which position it is fitted on the car. Some tire have a specific direction of rotation in order to improve wet grip and optimize noise generation.
Why did my front tires wear out so fast
Yes!
This causes the inner part of the tire to wear much faster than other parts. The front wheel generates 35% more force because it's rotating at a higher speed than the rear wheel due to the camber angle. [In the front-engine/front-wheel drive vehicles, the engine is located over the front axle.
