................two new tires to the back (due for it) and move the rear tires to the front disposing of the worn pair there.
And steering on wet roads at high speed etc.agreed with Billy.
Dam. We on a roll

Bingo. But at the end of the day, I'd bet a C-note as to what axle wears the new shoes. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it.
When tires are replaced in pairs in situations like these, the new tires should always be installed on the rear axle and the partially worn tires moved to the front. New tires on the rear axle help the driver more easily maintain control on wet roads since deeper treaded tires are better at resisting hydroplaning.

This is news to me, and I again leaned on the mechanic to say things accurately that the best tires always go to the back.
A google search asking where the new tires should go states they should go to the back.

Sorry, just trying to figure this out.

Is the Google answer thinking of front-wheel driving vs rear-wheel driving?
Take it off, look inside see if it's carbonated up.
Check engine light will come on within 10 minutes of running if you have a hard code

^^^ With all due regards, no big surprise. Internet is saturated with "the desired answer". +, hydroplaning on the front axle, where the steering and ~80% of the braking of a vehicle are done is wayyy over rated, best to run skins up there.
Understanding how things work, being able to think it through and be decisive absolves the need to go online altogether. Like it used to be before the internet came to be.
Glad you got the belt issue solved.
I`ll throw my two cents in on the tire thing. Keep in mind it`s worth what you paid. Generally the steer axle will wear the front tires the worst because of the scrubbing that occurs as the tires turn. That`s why we rotate. The exception being a truck that is always towing or loaded heavy. My buddy that makes a living with his two one ton trucks doing exactly that is a prime example. He wears the back tires faster.
If I`m only buying two tires I will put them on the steer axle. I can add weight to the bed, or my personal favorite, put it in 4x4 since I don`t buy 2wd trucks for winter daily use in northern Michigan.
However, for me this all changes on a fwd vehicle. Here`s why. Back in the early to mid 90`s an editor at Car and Driver got to participate in a skid pad test of a front drive car that had worn tires on the back and the front tires replaced with new. Before and after tests showed that new tires on the front only upset the balance of the car and let the tail end come out easier.
A few years later at the tender age of 18 I experienced this first hand. I was dating a young lady who had a Chevy Cavalier. It was winter, and it needed tires. I could only afford two, so they went on the front. And next thing you know the ass end was trying to swap with the front when you were pulling away from a stop sign while turning.
Like I said, just my two cents.
