'99 Legacy AWD. 

 

If I have four tires and two are a little more worn than the other two (1/32nd inch), is it best to put them on the front or back?

 

Seems like I remember that most of the time power goes to the front, and only goes to the rear when needed?

 

So better tires on the front to even out the wear?

For such a small difference, put the better tires on the front.  For vehicles that are not AWD, if you have a large difference, say 4/32" or greater, then the better tire go on the rear for safety reasons, even for FWD vehicles.  On a AWD vehicle, any differences greater than 2/32", the tires must be replaced or the better tires shaved down to match.
