Ive got toyos on all 4 corners. However I replaced the front 2 a few months ago due to a puncture on 1. Now Ive bought another 2 to replace the other 2. Where would the newer rubber be better of in terms of handling/grip/traction - the front or the back - Im thinking the front as that seems to wear faster but thought Id ask you lot.

Well in my experience putting the less grippy stuff on the back can in rare circumstances prove a bit scary ! Say you need to back off quickly in the wet on a roundabout, slightly safer to get understeer rather than oversteer. However, I say this based on it happening to me but that was with toyos up front and avons on the rear, which were FAR less grippy that the toyos. Back end went unexpectedly, but due to the good balance of the old scoob, I reeled it in nicely.

If you're concerned about even wear then I'd put them on the front, but if you're not bothered and want the safest scenario then stick em on the rears.
