FALSE</strong><o:p></o:p></p><p>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!"<o:p></o:p></p><p>There is no "even if" to this one. <u>Whether you own a front-, rear- or all-wheel-drive car, truck, or SUV, the tires with the most tread go on the rear</u>. Don't believe it? <a href="http://youtu.be/--Hb5kQCaTg" target="_blank">Watch this</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p>This is just as important with a tire blowout or failure as it is with hydroplaning.
