Right so I've just come back from my local costco, I was trying to replace the front two tyres on my focus ST which are pretty much on the legal limit.
Aside from the customer service issues I ran into which is another matter, I was told that they would be putting my new tyres on the rear of my car and swapping the older part worn firestones which are on the back to the front.
I left them at this point, mainly because of the 3 hour wait I was told to expect and the fact that I wanted my nice new Mitchelin pilot sport 3s on the front not my half worn firestones...
Is there any reason for this, when I questioned the guy behind the counter it was "worldwide policy" and something to do with "health and safety" perhaps I am missing something or haven't been educated in tyres enough, but my assumption would be for a fairly powerful FWD car I would want my best tyres on the front...
