Hi Well, if I had two new tires and two half-worn tires I would put the new ones on the front coz they are the ones doing the steering, and if you have a front-wheel-drive (which is almost everything these days) it's where the drive hits the road. In the old days there used to be two types of tire where this sort of question was much more relevant. There used to be Crossply tires, and there were the "new" Radials. Crossplys are long gone now unless you are looking to restore a 1947 Ford to original equipment, but for a time while both were available if you mixed crossplys and radials on the same axle you would end up in a ditch pretty quick.
