How bad is it to have different size tires in the back and front.. lets say i have two 205/45/16's in the front and 2 205/50/16's in the back is that bad??
just temp. for like 2-3 weeks cuz i found a guy selling 3 tires 85% tread for 25$ each i think i need two for the back till i get some money to buy same size ones new... by the way where should newer tires go back or front?
I say they go in the rear. There's a huge debate over this. The reason you'd want to put them in the rear is because worn tires in the rear have a higher chance of the car fish tailing if it loses traction. It's harder for the average drive to correct when this happens. If the car loses traction in the front the drive can gain control easier by slowing down and the newer tires in the rear with more traction will help point the car straight.

At the end of the video Michelin states that regardless of the drive axel (FWD, RWD, AWD) the two new tires are to be mounted in the rear. I believe the vehicles used in the video were FWD (Ford Taurus) but im not sure.
