Front? Rear?

It turns out that it is much easier to regain control if your front end slides out than if the rear end does. Also, in a panic situation, most people's instinct is to brake, which puts more weight and thus more traction on the front tires. So the new tires always go on the rear.
I just read your advice to put your crap tires on the front. This is where the steering is, right? How much trouble can you avoid with no steering control? Right! None!
