The manager was sorry that the tires were not rotated and proceeded to tell her that the rear tires should have the better tread. Keep in mind, she has an Accord coupe (fwd).
in a corner, having fresh grip in the back is safer
in a panic stop on wet roads, having fresh grip up front is by far safer.

so, the question is, does your friend have a fear of a little oversteer? :D

Yes she does. We all drive mainly on the highway (I avoid puddles and pot holes, she doesn't). So what do you think is best for her?
