New tires go in the back, end of story. Every single tire manufacturer and maintenance authority says this. Traction loss is more controllable and easier to predict on the front.
Under no circumstance should worn tires be placed on the rear axle while new ones are put on front.

This.
It's physics and the way the braking systems work. You want the better tires on the back.
Just think about slamming on your brakes with bad tires on the back and good ones in the front. The front will slow down but the back will want to keep that forward momentum going. The result is a spin.
Drive wheels don't matter. If you can't get going, then you probably don't want too because once you start moving braking will be an adventure
