^^You don't work in a tire shop do you?

Thanks for the advice, but I respectfully decline. Yes, I am aware of this "rule" and yes, I have read and understand the reasoning behind this, however it seems to me that this is outdated thinking from the time of heavy, RWD cars. On another note, that form of thinking seems to imply that your tires should never be rotated, as at some point you will have two tires with deeper tread on the front axle, which apparently is unsafe.

My rear tires still have plenty of tread also.

Again, I appreciate the advice and understand the reasoning, but my personal preference is to have my grippier tires on the front axle. I needed better traction, and would not have gotten this better traction by leaving the offending tires on the front.

Cheers!
