    Outside of tire slightly worn put on back. Results?

    Long story short. My front 1/8th toe out is starting to show a semi obvious difference between the front and back thread that is left on the outside so i figured maybe while its still not bad i'd flip the front to backs because the backs are like new. So i was just curious would this make my car slightly tail happy in the rear? I assume the "edge" of it snapping out would be sooner but hopefully won't be a problem a higher speeds where your not really at the edge anyways. Thoughts? Comments?

    PS: I have ES 100s for tires incase that matters...

    This is why ya rotate every 6000-8000 miles.

    I may make a slight differance in the rear, but shouldnt be to bad, we swap em like that everyday at work

      Why don't you fix your alignment so your tires wear properly?

      You want the better tires in the front anyways. How sloppy your rear end will be depends on how worn the tires are.

        You assume i put 6-8k on the tires since the camber bolts were put in and the toe set!

        Somebody hasn't been paying attention to my posts nor my signature! I don't DD the car so i prefer better handling and don't mind some minor tire wear!

              So what's the point of this meaningless thread?

              Did you just want to let us know you rotated your tires or something?

                    Well, when you have the better tires on the front(where they should be on a FWD anyways for traction/steering purposes), and the worse tires on the rear, then yes, the rear will be more susceptible to breaking free. How much worse your rear end's traction will be directly correlates to exactly how worn the tires are.
