Trying to settle a debate. I always put best tires where the power is. So best tires for rwd truck go in the rear. What are your experiences

    Best tires on the rear end no matter if its fwd or rwd its better for 99.9% of drivers 99.9% of the time to understeer than oversteer.

    On the Rear, always

    There’s enough weight up front that under braking, the nose is gonna dig, so those tires are gonna put down some traction no matter what, just from that weight shift. The rear is light, and without enough traction, it goes slip slop swoopty doo into the ditch. Rear wheels keep you “tracked” to the direction of the fronts, so if you can’t stay tracked, then you slippy slide.

    Always the best tires in the rear. I can kind of see the arguments for putting the best ones in the front if a FWD car although I don’t agree, but on a RWD vehicle definitely the rear.
