Actually, it's common practice for some people to put new tires on the rear.
The reasoning behind it is that it's better to lose grip in easily-correctable understeer situation (front tires) than in a more-difficult-to-correct oversteer situation (rear tires).
Has anyone mentioned that the ASX is an all season and the SPT is a summer tire? The compounds are different, the SPT will out handle the ASX in terms of sticking better. Depends on your driving needs, personally I think this car needs a tire that grabs, but that's me. I drive (and I mean DRIVE) my car. I want some rubber under me that can handle the power I'm putting out... (yes)
