Guess everyone has different opinions.

Try to keep all 4 roughly the same nowadays.

front wheel drive cars yes i agree,but on a rear wheel drive 4x4 then on the rear.but as you say,each to their own.

i always thought it was due to over/under steer with the new tyres.

better to understeer with the new ones on the front than to over/back end kick out

I'd agree with that to be honest

As I say it was cars I worked on.

Oil and filters changed, then managed to kick the can of old oil over!!

Hopefully, the sand will soak most of it up!

Decided it ain't coming to LZ10 as there's nasty vibrations n noises coming from underneath/engine places... so the ultra rare Land Rover Passat will be in attendance
