discovery tyre question

(1/2) > >>

nickW:
for my discovery i have just bought a set of BFgoodridge 265 75 16  mud terrains 2nd hand, 2 of the tyre are almost brand new and 2 are half worn so should i put the half worn ones on the front or the back

the cars a disco 1 v8

Hightower:
I'd put the new ones on the front and the worn ones on the back if they were mine.

But, as ever, I stand to be corrected . . . . . . .  :wink:

nickW:
cheers, has any one else got any coments

bullfrog:
Same !
The fronts work harder (drive and steering) so best to have new ones there.

clbarclay:
The only time i've been told to put part worns on the front (new ones on the back) was fo a 2wd hatchback to prevent the car spinning, light backend plus old tyres compared to heavy front end and new tyres its obvious which will grip most by a long way.


I'm in a very similare situation, though my tyres are more 75% and 50% worn. I run them with 75% front and 50% rear and had no problems.
