I always put the better tires up front. Its the front that does all the driving. The rear is just in it for the ride. When u break, accelerate, corner its all up front.

Maybe the article said to put the good ones in the rear because oversteer isn't "safe". If you had new tires up front and bold ones in the rear ur ass end could slide around. This won't happen in your case so just put the cointinentals up front.
