TireRack study.

Ideally tires should be replaced in complete sets and rotated throughout their life to equalize front-to-rear and side-to-side wear quantity while enhancing each tire’s wear quality. However when tires are replaced in pairs, the new pair of tires should always be installed on the rear axle and the existing worn tires moved to the front." |
Since front tires wear out sooner than rear tires ( this seems to be the consensus), can we assume the front tires are also doing most of the work in steering, stopping, holding up the heavy end of the vehicle?
Based on this fact alone, why put worn tires where most of the work needs doing?
Seems kinda dangerous to me ....
I'll go with new tires up front, thank you.
