I can only agree to this if you're very, VERY aware of your cars behavior on road EVERY TIME you drive,
and is fully aware of the consequences of having a rear wheel spin-out occur, even at low speeds.

WOMEN dont do this. You will cause accidents during rain.

front is always more critical, so it should be at least in par as your rear tyre for most front wheel drive unless yours is rear wheel drive.

newer/better traction tyres at the rear. older/lesser traction tyres at the front.

Not front, but rear for better road handling around corners at high speeds, in particular on wet road surfaces, in high rainfall Malaysia.

In general for safety reason especially in the wet, new tires usually for the rear. However if your other existing pair is still pretty thick also (like 70% or more), then you can put the new pair at the front to even out the wear later on. Then keep rotating every 10 or 20k km so your tires will last longer, finish evenly, then change all 4 later.

Rear left to front left.

Just look at the thread pattern. The direction of wheel spin evacuates the water from tyre. If installed where the direction of travel sends the water towards the center of the tyre instead of out of tyre, you will be in a lot of trouble in the wet.
