Tire rotation

I need to get new back tires. The front ones are still ok. When I get the new ones should I:

A. Put them on the front and move the good ones I have on the front, to the back?
or
B. Put the new tires on the back and wait until the ones on the front get bad before putting the new ones on the front?

Which is a better option? It's front wheel drive so I'm thinking option A is a better idea but I'm not sure.
 


I've heard both sides. Everyone has their opinion/recommendation on it. I would personally put the new ones on the front because I need better traction in the snow. But I've heard people say to put the new ones on the back so you have better steering on wet/slippery roads.
 
rear traction is more important than front traction.

you can cure front traction by going slower on slippery surfaces when turning. if you cant keep the rear end planted you're gonna crash your car.

This. Nothing like going around a corner and your ass end sliding out.
 
Rotate more often, homeslice. If you don't take care of your tires, your tires won't take care of you.
