If I had only ONE new tire I would...
Currently I have two Michelin lithon tires on my training wheel set. The front is in really good shape, and rear is getting quite squared off. I have really liked the lithon, so I will more then likely keep buying them. The question is, Should I put the new on the front, and rotate the used front to the back, or just replace the back. Thanks

Front to the back. Always good to a have good tire in the front.

Just ditch the bike and buy a unicycle and you'll never have to worry about this again.
As for me -- once my rear tire begins to show noticeable wear, I swap it out w/ the front tire.
