I was thinking of replacing the Goodyears with Continental ExtremeContact DWSs. See how I like 'em, then replace the rears a little later.

  - I thought newer in rear, to not lose back end.. - BrainMushmouthIsTehDevil 2010-02-08 15:26:53 (40 views)
    - The rear tires are much less likely to hydroplane ... - ryoung 2010-02-08 16:40:58 (49 views)
      - Funny. Every tire-professional will say "best tires always at the rear", regardless of AWD/RWD/AWD. - DutchDoofus 2010-02-09 02:00:16 (15 views)
      - I'm with ^this guy^ - while new rears is true for John Q Pubic, I'll take new fronts allllll day - pkrasusky 2010-02-08 21:21:29 (64 views)
      - Wrong - new tires always on the rear for safety. see link inside for Michelin PSA - pbkirby 2010-02-08 18:07:54 (36 views)
        
        I think it depends if you have AWD/FWD/RWD - Sentinelist 2010-02-08 19:54:59 (30 views)
- Low/new @ front, worn in rear. Already violating the thread-depth rule anyway so go for it. - DutchDoofus 2010-02-08 14:50:48 (45 views)
- if its the same make and size i would not worry about it. - Angus 2010-02-08 14:24:30 (22 views)
