Shaved Tires (Pair)- Front or Rear?
I have a set of Toyo Proxes RA1 tires in 225/50ZR15. Two of them have been shaved to 2/32 while the other two are not shaved at all, close to full tread depth. I have been wondering if I should run the shaved set on the steer axle or not? There are advantages to front or rear in my opinion so I have not be able to decide. I am running an open diff for now. I worry of cording the shaved tires if I run them up front but at the same time I see a steering benefit. I would like to shave the other pair but time and budget constrains me. A penny for some thoughts?

Front, all the weight is up there, so the tires are working harder, the shaved ones will have less tread squirm...
