Tire wear and rotation question

[Pask2155]

I just picked up a set of wildtrak take offs. 6k miles on them. I noticed a SLIGHT and I mean SLIGHT OUTER EDGE wear on 2 of the tires.

Here’s my question: Should I install the worn ones to the back? Or put them on the front?

REAR

old rule of thumb was to always put the grippier tires on the rear

Outer edge is typically Toe-Out wear.

As @TRACKTOY said, throw them on the rear and that will help wear the rest of the tire down to blend it out. Truthfully, within the distance of an OCI/tire rotation or two, you won't even know it was feathered to begin with (assuming your alignment is to spec)

They were likely on the front. I would start them on the back.

both on the side with less turns
