  • CORRECTION - People tend to believe in what they have heard and refuse to agree

  • Anyone who disagrees should put their 2 new tires on the front and after driving on a wet road post a video of the outcome....I'll come to your funeral to view it.

  • I don't believe it. It's just another way for the tire companies to get you to purchase 4 tires instead of two. New tires on the front if vehicle is front wheel drive. New tires on the rear if rear wheel drive and front tires are not in good shape.

  • I am not even going to read the comments.ANYONE who thinks the vid is not true are the reasons why I see many accidents on wetweather days.cause people can literally see proof n front of there face (ie this video) &still think its wrong.Then they go to their trusted tire shop &get the 2 new tires in the front then loose control and have an accident putting peoples life's at risk.all because they think they know everything even if something proves them wrong, they still think their right. IDIOTS!

  • Usually this videos try to ilustrated it in a wet road, the reason is because it is the moment in which the tires have the most adherence challenge than a dry road.

  • idk who turns me on more. Her, or Bob Vila.

  • by the look of the video it looks like it was make in the early 90's and when she is say " look what happens when we put the car on the road" she don't say on a wet road so my guess would be if you do drive in a west coast where there is less rain and all road are dry i would make sense to put the new tire in the front so the video in some case giving false info to people but in rain you want more traction in the front to steer the car to where ever you command it to go n you need winter tires.

  • Believe me, after touring their production plant, driving on three of their test tracks and rubbing shoulders with some of their test drivers, Michelin knows what they are talking about. Why would a huge company open themselves up to potential liability by blindly insisting to put your new tires on the rear? And no, I don't work for Michelin.

  • The experience of spinning out with the 2008 FWD Ford Focus with new tires on the front was one that I'll never forget. Of course, the other 2008 FWD Ford Focus with new tires on the rear performed just as described in the video-very predictable. And the other 20+ people in our class had the same experience as above.

  • The Ford Taurus portion was filmed at Michelins' Laurens Proving Grounds in South Carolinaon their huge circular wet track. I can say that because I was fortunate enough to drive that very track and we did the same exercise that you watched.
