what to do with this tire???

so i bought a set of used wheels and tires last week and am getting ready to put them on.

the tires are bfgoodrich A/Ts and 2 of them have a little bit more wear on

them than the other 2. One of the more worn ones has an eneven wear on

the right side of the tire. So my question is where should i put the uneven

one on?(which tire where?)

ask questions if i didnt give enough info or i will put up a pic of the tire if you

want.

thanks alot!!

Uneven one should be on the rear as to not mess with your alignment. It should even out eventually. My understanding is that you should try to pair the different wear amounts across from each other. i.e. The two with the most tread up front, the two with less on the rear.

Someone else might have advice that's more better () than mine.

i say put it on the back, i would think unevenly worn tires would wear better on the rear then on the front and if mounted in front they may cause steering vibration
