Why fit new or the least worn tyres to the rear?

Whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, we recommend that new tyres be fitted to the rear axle. This will ensure that vehicle stability is maintained in extreme conditions of braking and cornering, especially on wet or slippery roads.

Numerous tests have shown that it is generally easier to control the front axle than the rear axle.

If the front tyres skid, the driver momentarily loses control of his steering. The action that should be taken to regain control is to lift the foot from the accelerator and to turn the steering wheel into the direction of the bend. This maneuver will help vehicle control to be regained.

On the other hand, should control be lost on the rear axle, the situation is much more difficult to control, because this leads to oversteer. In order to regain control of the vehicle, the driver should turn the steering away from the direction of the bend. An experienced driver would also find that gentle deceleration would also help gain control.

This is why we at tyrestore recommend that you limit the risk of this happening by fitting new or the least worn tyres to the rear. This will enable :
- improved grip when cornering
- vehicle stability when braking
- additional vehicle safety
