Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Not only is the back the lighter end, but it's also the end that's going to make things especially exciting if it hydroplanes. Spontaneous tail out action on the freeway at speed going in a straight line can be a major pucker moment at a minimum. Granted, the difference between 10% and 20% should be pretty small, but I'd put the better tires on the back.

Generally speaking, it's not about where the weight is. You put the deepest tread on the front, as the rears ride in the track of the front tires, more or less, and the water is already displaced. So, the rears have less work to do moving water.
