Same holds true for motorcycles.  Rear blow-outs are far more dangerous than
front.

Cheers,

harald,

it is also easier to steer a flat tire in the front. try doing that in the
rear. even vehicles equipped w/ rear wheel steering cannot steer them
indepedent of the opposite front (articulated trucks an exception).
