It's new tyre time again and obviously there are two schools of thought regarding where to put the new ones.
1) 'On the front you dummy!'
Better straight line traction, braking and all that. The manual says put them on the front so who am I to argue?
2) 'On the back you fool!'
Back end is much lighter and chances are if you lose the back end you lose the car. You should make sure you've got grip at the rear.
So which is it to be? Keep in mind it's Haldex quattro if that makes a difference and the tyres I'm keeping are half way through their life.
