Better/New tyres on front or rear?

Hi All,
Most ppl think that the better/newer tyres should go on the rear or the car.
In my case, I have the better/newer tyres on a 14x6 rim, while the older tyres are on a 14x6.5 rim.
Wouldn't the older but wider rim be better on the front or rear?
Or does the width even matter?
Thanks in advance,
Alan

In my opinion the better/grippier tyres should always be on the front!

I've tried both, and i found good on the front is the best.. but when it came to rainy days, it was more tail slidey with the bad ones on the rear.
In conclusion... both front and rear should be good.
Don't skimp on tyres.
