When replacing a single tire, does it always need to be placed on the rear axle?
What is your question?
I blew out the front passenger side tire on my 2 month old 2022 Ford Bronco Sport (Big Bend). I had a new one installed yesterday, and it looks like they just put the new one where the flat was. However, I read that when replacing just one tire, it’s best to put the new one on the rear axle. My car only has ~2900 miles on it, so all of the tires are still relatively new. I think the receipt said that my blown tire had a tread depth of 8/32. Given that all of the tires are decently new, does it matter where the replacement tire is? If it’s a problem, can I swap the tires myself or will I need to take it back?
