Problem:
1. Many tire professionals still believe that the tires with the most tread should go on the front if it is a front-wheel drive vehicle.
2. Many tire professionals believe that it makes a difference what season of the year it is.
3. Many tire professionals will ask the customer for his or her preference. “Where do you want us to put the new tires?”
4. Many tire professionals will simply rotate the more worn tires off the front of the vehicle to the back, even when the tires are not replaced. Prevention: Insist on putting your new tires on the rear.
Liability: If there has been a hydroplaning accident, it is imperative that the tires are examined by a forensics professional and that the service records of the vehicle be investigated. If new tires were purchased or installed on the front of the vehicle, we believe that the installer of these tires could be legally negligent and responsible for all injuries suffered in such accident.
