Same rules apply. The place for a bat up tire is on the rear so you finish it off faster and can move on. I don't rotate tires as they wear and often end up with an old well worn front tire. It's one of those rare examples of how Murphy's Law can work for me. As soon as I decide that this tire is gone with the next flat it becomes bullet proof and refuses to go, until UV and ozone finally weaken the body enough that it quits.
