re: Where would you put 2 new tires on an SUV: Front or Rear?

1 in the trunk and you pick the other.

Front
When applying the breaks momentum will shift the vehicle weight to the front of the vehicle. Need best treads there for stopping.
Back end will actually weigh less in heavy breaking situation

Intuition suggests that since the front tires wore out first and because there is still about half of the tread remaining on the rear tires, the new tires should be installed on the front axle. This will provide more wet and wintry traction; and by the time the front tires have worn out for the second time, the rear tires will be worn out, too. However, in this case, intuition isn't right...and following it can be downright dangerous.
"When tires are replaced in pairs...the new tires should always be installed on the rear axle and the partially worn tires moved to the front."
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. Hydroplaning occurs when the tire cannot process enough water through its tread design to maintain effective contact with the road. In moderate to heavy rain, water can pool up in road ruts, depressions and pockets adjacent to pavement expansion joints. At higher speeds, the standing water often found in these pools challenges a tire's ability to resist hydroplaning. Exactly when hydroplaning occurs is the result of a combination of elements including water depth, vehicle weight and speed, as well as tire size, air pressure, tread design and tread depth. A lightweight vehicle with wide, worn, underinflated tires in a heavy downpour will hydroplane at lower speeds than a heavyweight vehicle equipped with new, narrow, properly inflated tires in drizzling rain. If the front tires have significantly less tread depth than the rear tires, the front tires will begin to hydroplane and lose traction on wet roads before the rear tires. While this will cause the vehicle to understeer (the vehicle wants to continue driving straight ahead), understeer is relatively easy to control because releasing the gas pedal will slow the vehicle and help the driver maintain control. However, if the front tires have significantly more tread depth than the rear tires, the rear tires will begin to hydroplane and lose traction on wet roads before the fronts. This will cause the vehicle to oversteer (the vehicle will want to spin). Oversteer is far more difficult to control and in addition to the initial distress felt when the rear of the car starts sliding, quickly releasing the gas pedal in an attempt to slow down may actually make it more difficult for the driver to regain control, possibly causing a complete spinout.

On something with leaf springs the bad tires defintiely go on the back. You don't want a blowout on the steer axle.

The correct answer is you put new tires in the rear. Don't listen to any of the geniuses in this thread giving you bro-science reasons as to why that's wrong.
You can do your own research, and you will see that it is recommended by those who have actually done studies on this that you should put new tires in the rear. Tire manufactures will tell you the same. Your auto shop will tell you the same.

Tire placed tell you to put then on the rear. Some bs about hydroplaneing. In reality it is because they want to sell you more tires and the front tires wear out faster than the rear.

So if you ride around with the pedal to the wood, you need them on the back. Otherwise, they go on the front.

If the difference in the wear is such that it's more than a passing concern, should have gotten 4 new tires. Drive wheels is probably the correct answer, otherwise.

Front, a rear end blowout will allow you to maintain control
Exact opposite of this as recommended by every tire manufacturer.

new tires always go on front

Video, as per michelin, on why the better tires should be mounted on the rear.
