Not sure if I asked this before but: does anyone think it’s better to leave tires on front on back?

I recently got 2 new tires on the front because when I rotated from the back, I was getting a wobble in my steering wheel (they were also unevenly worn). Now that I have the new ones, the shimmy has gone away.

With RWD I’m thinking it’s better to keep it on front or rear just to avoid transferring wear to the front and creating vibrations. I can’t seem to get my camber perfect on the back, without replacing the springs and lower arms.

I prefer new tires on the rear in almost all cases, but sounds like the RLCA's should be done soon (springs can possibly wait).

Thanks, I’ve had one replaced before used but so far, haven’t had any shops suggest them to be bad yet
