Depends on what your goal is I guess... If you want traction, put the two new ones on the two rear wheels. Move the better of the used to the front wheels. If you want to scuff the new ones off and get no use from them, put them on the front. The only exception I might make to that would be if you were doing a lot of work where you were backing out of a hole with a full bucket and the weight balance was on the front wheels... then you could make use of the tires on the front. Otherwise, most skids balance about their rear wheels and scuff the fronts around.
You don't want a good pair on one side and the poor ones on the other side either... if you do that you have one side that wants to move and the other side that wants to spin... and spin in a circle is all you'll do until you spin the new tires down and they're just as poor as the other pair... It's not really great for the drive chains having mismatched sizes on one side... but I haven't found it to be particularly detrimental either. This is one of those cases where you pick the lesser of two evils unless you want to buy 4 tires... so I'd just put the new pair on the rear wheels.
