Tyres and wear?

I got another set of wheels and tyres today for my leafer.
Second hand tyres, two very good, two okay tread depth (and
almost worn out spare)
So which axle wears quickest (so I can put the best ones on that
axle to try and even them out)
Part of me says the rear will wear fastest as they are driving
most of the time. but th eother part of me says the front will
scrub more on corners so will wear fastest.

usually the front as you rightly put the steering and also
braking put more wear on them

Thanks. I'll put the best ones on the front.
the only time my leafer slides is when I take a wet roundabout
too fast. I put that down to the very old cr@p tyres on it. I
hope the new ones will be better (at least for the first time I
will have 4 tyres all the same)

How do you go sideways in a leafer? I've tried it all, wet
roundabouts, G90 tyres..
Still can't get it to slide.
