Default Used tires in the back or the front?

here is my situation, my prelude is very low, and no i dont have a camber kit...yes im planning on getting one...but not just yet..so before i get flammed id rather you know...

so basically my tires as you might suspect are warn like a mother on the inside of the tire, but the out side still looks brand new...

the tires that were in front were really warn so i threw them in the back and i put the less warn in the front...but then i started to think that it might be dangerous to have the really warn ones in the back...im about to get them fliped over soon...

but i dont remember if the more used tire should go in back or front..

sorry dumb question... no flaming lol

more worn generally goes in the rear.

On FWD cars, front tires wear faster than rear tires. I always put the more worn tires in the rear, to even out the wear.

However, the Tire Rack recommends putting the more worn tires on the front, so that difference in tread depth causes the car to understeer rather than oversteer.
