Ok https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1297249 this is what happened. Drivers side tires slashed. Tires had 25K on em Insurance replaced both of the drivers side tire.
Now drivers side brand new same as the passenger side with 25K. My question is can I switch the BACK drivers side to the Passenger front? They are GOODYEAR Eagle LS p2025/60R16. I dont know if they are directional? I dont know how to find out. Thanks

 

your back tires will then grip less and it will probably feel wierd depending on how you treated your old set.

 

So should I replace the other 2 ASAP or leave it like it is?

Yes.

They are not.

I found out by looking at their description on the Tire Rack website, which says, "Eagle LS tires feature a symmetric, independent tread block design that allows all tire rotation patterns to encourage even wear and maximum treadlife."

And what you are proposing makes perfect sense, so that you have the two new tires on the front, to even out the wear as well as to provide the most grip where you want it.

People like you are what makes H-T so great thanks alot man

 

Actually you will want to put the newest tires on the rear position. This will cut down on the chance of oversteer problems. You will have more grip on the rear which will mean you will lose traction on the front quicker than you would on the rear. In this case the car will begin to understeer which is relatively easy to control. However, if the new tires are on the front axle, the rear tires will lose traction first and the vehicle will begin to oversteer. This is much harder to control than understeer.

Well I Will rotate them Next time I change my oil. I will be replace all four of them in spring. The tires suck anyway so I will be careful

Well, what you say is true. But... if you're that concerned about cutting down on oversteer, you would always want the tires with more tread to be on the rear, where they will get the fastest wear - and you would conclude that you should never rotate your tires, so that you are wearing out the two most worn tires first instead of evening out the wear among all four. Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I think it's a better idea to just slow down in rain, so you don't have to worry about hydroplaning at either end of the car...

 

I agree that it is very hard to get tires to wear at exactly the same rate, but rotating tires is designed to at least get them close. So when you rotate them the front and rear tires will stay pretty close in tread depth. The problem comes in when you destroy a tire or two and need to only replace two. Then there can be quite a difference in tread depth between the tires.
