Depends what you mean by "best", but if you're talking primarily about tread depth, you don't need it in the dry.
Bald tyres will out perform tread in dry conditions.
If your "worst" tyres are significantly older, that introduces another variable and greater hardness of the compound might make them less effective.
All my tyres are old, so lately I put the better treaded ones on the front in the dry season, but thats to even up the wear a bit, not for performance reasons.
