Most of the weight and braking, and all of the power and steering are done by the fronts. That said, the most common flat is the right rear. Ask anyone who's worked a tire store for a while. Seems there is more stuff on the side of the road (right) and that it gets 'spit' up and then run over by the rear. I'd put it on the rear. Keep the matched set in front (even if it's not that much) and as you've felt, a rear flat is scary! For an explaination of the "one wheel drive", try http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential.htm
