So I come out of work to find my vx sitting pratically on its rim. To my suprize there is a large bolt my driver's side rear tire. So I take it to the tire shop for a repalcement. They give one to me through my road hazard warranty. But now I have one brand new tire and three slightly used ones.

?Where do I put the new one? Front or rear. The old ones have been on there for about 5 months 5,000 miles or so and are not heavily worn.

shouldnt be too big an issue, but id put the new tire on the rear to be safe
if you have the $$ might be a good time to think about a full sized spare, and put both new tires in the rear and the extra used one as your full size spare on the roof (at or home for around town driving)

I had the same thing happen to my amigo a few years ago.
Driving down the road and all of a sudden the tire goes flat.
Thought someone had shot the tire.
Got a new one and put it on the back.
No problems since then. Still on the Amigo.
