    You shouldn't even be using those tires if you are concerned they might blow up ...

    I try to rotate my tires regularly so that they will all need replacing at the same time. If I need to replace only 2, I put them up front, just personal preference. I find that they scrub in faster up front. But I drive as though it were a new car with brakes that haven't been broken in.

    If I suspect I may have misalignment up front I put them in the rear.

    I also rotate my tires so that they wear evenly and eventually I replace all 4 at the same time.

    My Kumhos are now at 35,000 km travelled and I'll probably replace them in the next 2 months. Eyeing the GT SX2 or Yoko Advan V701 - I want something grippy, I need something that lasts long.

    But on a tire blowout scenario, which is more survivable?
    Blown front tire or back tire?

    Front. You still have your steering to get the car back in control.

    A rear blowout is prone to oversteer which most people don't know how to react to.

    I see, thanks.
    Then new tires should always be on the rear.

    I disagree...

    Kapag likod ma-flat, mas madali icontrol yung car.

    Sa harap, biglang kakabig yung car sa direction ng flat tire.

    Wag ka lang biglang mag-brakes...

    Thicker tires should be in the front if ever the tires are for replacement already.
