September 9th, 2015 04:38 AM #2542Fyi michelin NA suggests you put the 2 new tyres sa rear.
Ang harap macocontrol mo pa rin kahit papano pero pag nag skid ang likod.. well you do get the idea.
Ideally 4 na bago, then rotate daw ng pa ekis front-rear left-right para pantay. Kung uni or bi directional ang tyres mo.

September 14th, 2015 05:16 PM #2543Okay sir. Will do. Malapit nadin ako mag PMS so I'll have it double check nalang din sa SA ng Casa.
Sa harap ko siya pinalagay for now. I'll buy two more in a week or two para lahat palit na. Do you guys also include yun spare tire sa rotation since same lang naman sila ng stock?

September 15th, 2015 04:34 PM #2549rear tires act like the feathers in darts or the fins of bombs and missiles. they keep the projectile (the car) pointed toward the direction of movement. this gives the driver some semblance of control.
the tendency of drivers attempting to control their cars, is to put on the brakes. and if the front tires have good tread and the rear tires are bald, putting on the brakes may result in the rear skidding to the side and will then try to outrun the front end.
remember that old adage...? "to regain control of the car, point the front tires in the direction of the skid." well, the assumption of that statement, is that the rear end will remain in the rear, and will not try to outrun the front.
once the rear wheels start skidding (to the side), it is difficult to regain control of the car.
remember also, that in today's cars, more of the car weight is on the front tires and less on the rear.. this makes the rear more likely to skid..
i actually experienced this..
driving down an underpass one rainy night, there was this stalled vehicle at the bottom. wala siya EWD.. when i saw it, i panic-braked. i got lucky, as my car stopped a yard before i hit it. (wala pa ABS noon..) but i noticed, after i had stopped, that my rear end was already about a foot or two, to the right of my long axis.. and all my tires were in good condition.. what if..
bottomline... have all your tires in good condition.Last edited by dr. d; September 15th, 2015 at 04:42 PM.

This true sir. Generally all 4 tires should be road worthy but that is not always the case in real life situations. Most owners will buy 2 tires at a time when that happens you have 2 of your tires new and the other 2 old. Question here is where should you best put your 2 new tires? To the front or at the rear?
