Tyre matters

They should go on the front, no matter whether it’s front-wheel drive or rear, the front is doing all the steering and most of the braking, and in the case of a front-wheel drive it’s also doing all of the driving. It’s fine to increase the tyre pressure a little, you should see an improvement in handling, braking and steering, and fuel economy, but you might lose a little ride comfort. A higher pressure is recommended in the rear tyres a car when towing or when loaded to handle the extra load. Check the tyre placard or owner’s manual for more info on the best tyre pressures for your car.
