Default Pairing new and old Falken Azenis

I got a new set of Azenis 615's on 15x7 wheel. Two of the tires are worn upto the tread wear bar. I also have another set of old AZENIS 215's on 15x6.5" wheel.

Thinking about not using the worn up Azenis ( two wheels) for the next auto-x. I can use the older Azenis which hasecent tread left.

Where should the new 615's on 15x7 go? At the front or rear

Please describe your car here.

Im going to assume you have a FF honda. If you do, run them in front, with the 615s in front/215s in back. This will give you a little more oversteer.

I would just play with the combo on the autox to figure out what you like. The 615's dont get as greasy, and are stickier llast onger than the 215s. (IMO)

You always want the newer more sticky tire up front to get more front end grip (which most FWD cars lack). And the older more bald tires out back.

Just get ready for some snap oversteer if you do this way.
