I’m going tomorrow to get two new tires. Do I put the new tires in the front and the old ones in the back or old ones in the front and new ones in the back?

Front wheel or rear wheel drive?

I'd put them on the drive wheels.

Best tires go in the front. That is where the steering and braking
action is. And since you are in FL, and don't have to worry about
snow, there isn't much reason to want them on the drive wheels.

I did not vote; They need to be on the drive wheels

actually michelin did alot of testing on this...regardless of which are the drive wheels.. you want the best tires on the back. should you start to skid you can control the front with brakes and steering...you cannot control the back..so you want the tires with the most traction on the rear..

Just my opinion: Since Florida has a lack of snow, lack of turns, abundance of rain... I'd say put 'em up front.

Good tires up front I think would help reduce chance of hydroplaning.
