I recently bought two GT radial 255/35s cheap because i needed two rears. well I would like to ditch the stretched front tires and get another set of 255/35's.

I've been looking into grippy tires such as the hankook RS-3, Star specs, R888, Etc

Would it benefit me mounting those on the front or the back? I figure more grip up front would be nice, but would it benefit me more in the back? I plan to run the Gt radials until they are worn.
