I have to replace 2 tyres on my FWD A3 2.0 td 170
Should I put the new ones on the front or rear axel?
May sound like a stupid question but just would like an opinion. The other 2 tyres have 4-5mm of tread and am sticking with Michelin for the new ones.

Thanks for all the above.
I asked because I had this vague memory that the rear was the place to have them.
My other car is a B6 S4, I'm not looking forward to replacing all of those at the same time.
