2 new tires; Put on front of rear?

By the way, I’m not a “she”, by any means… Trust me on this fact as when I went to the restroom 3 minutes ago, although there was no question, I confirmed that in fact, I am a man! So, where you get the “she”, I have no clue, but I am a man, not a woman or girl. Thank you! Simple and hopefully innocent mistake, but I am a guy. I will probably let 'em put the 2 new ones where they want, but since I’ll probably be going to a different place than planned, I will probably now be getting 4 tires, not just 2. However, the advice and opinions given here, were highly valuable as that anybody should question a salesmans (which is basically a live commercial on legs) given opinions/advice in “why?”. So, I appreciate all your thoughts, but if I get 4, it doesn’t matter and if I get two, well, I firmly believe the manufacturer probably knows a slight (ton more) than I do, about tires!
