This is from Popular Mechanics Magazine:
Myth: When replacing only two tires, the new ones go on the front.
The truth: Rear tires provide stability, and without stability, steering or braking on a wet or even damp surface might cause a spin. If you have new tires up front, they will easily disperse water while the half-worn rears will go surfing: The water will literally lift the worn rear tires off the road. If you're in a slight corner or on a crowned road, the car will spin out so fast you won't be able to say, "Oh, fudge!"
There is no "even if" to this one. Whether you own a front-, rear- or all-wheel-drive car, truck, or SUV, the tires with the most tread go on the rear.

What "we?" Men change tires.
(Dad didn't even let me sit in the car he gave me until I learned how to change a tire, check the fluids, and learned how to use cables to get a car started. Still, 41 years later, and all I have to do is look helpless, and some nice guy will do it for me. I pulled out the jack once. Closest I ever came to changing a tire. Girls have all the fun. lol)

Not as much as you might think on the front since there is a huge transfer of weight to the front when braking... and, of course, we are not talking about nothing but bald tires on the front. There is still tread on the front tires.. or there dang well SHOULD be, or it is idiocy to drive on them at all.
I am persuaded to put them on the back axle and I will Wednesday, against my Vietnamese friend advise.
This friend learned how to work on cars in Viet Nam by watching people work on their car as he took the family cow out on the roadside to craze. He now provides a good living for 'his' family, wife and two children. He told me yesterday that his daughter's application to a Magnet School has be excepted.
