Wow, I don't know where to go from here. Can't really argue when everyone agrees with then tells you are wrong.
You just said that you regularly rotate your better tires to the front to keep the wear even. This totally contradicts your "put the best tires on the back" BS! If you want to follow that stupid rule then you can never rotate your tires, so in the real world the rule is BS!From a strict reading of the instructions would mean that some times the tyres on the front might have a little more tread. As it has turned out for me, with my rotation schedule ends up with very little difference.
If I ever had a car with two tyres with noticeably less tread on two than the other two, you can bet the best will be on the back.
I would suggest that if you have a noticeable difference in the amount of tread, then they have not been properly rotated. Mine get rotated twice a year.
Do you have any authoritative reference that specifically specifies using the tyres with the most tread remaining on the front?
Have you read the reference http://www.michelinman.com/tire-care/tire-basics/ Chose the selection that talks about "where to mount two new tyres" Then watch an listen to the short video.
I have never had any difficulty rotating my tyres and keeping the better tyres on the front, or having very little difference in the wear.
I have provided a specific professional reference on the subject. I have not found such a reference suggesting putting the best on the front. Can you provide a reference?
