We've had the good tires on front/back debate and even though I know full well the insurance/tire companies recommend the good ones on the back, I prefer the good ones on the front because where I live I need traction for starting, stopping, and steering first and foremost, and having had several vehicles with rear weight bias, I'm equipped to handle any oversteer that *may or may not* occur. The thing about some official recommendations is that they have to work for the lowest common denominator- a Cover Your *** sorta thing.
