well heres the thing.
you put 2 new tires on the front of it.
the way our cars, and 98% of every other car on the road are designed is to understeer.
since the front of our vehicles carry the weight of the engine and the rear is so much lighter, when you mount 2 new tires they should be mounted on the rear.
like i said, the rear of the vehicle is lighter, so if you put the crappy tread back there, it wont displace the water properly and your rear end will hydro plane before your front will.
by putting the new tires on the rear on old ones on the front, the front will "ski" first. its easier to feel an issue with the front of the car than the rear because we can feel it through the steering wheel. if the front tires ski, then just slow down.
when the rear of your car goes out on you, it is called an oversteer condidtion. there are professional drivers that have a tough time even handling an oversteer, nevermind the average joe out on the road.
put the 2 new ones on the back of the car. if they are directional and have channels to dispurse the rain, make sure they dispurse it to out the tire and not draw it in (if they are mounted backwards). this will bring the rain into the centre of the tire and cause hydro planning.
if your rears are so bad that you are worried about putting them on the front, then you should have replaced 4 tires, not 2.
Injection is nice but id rather be BLOWN!

If they wore out in 7000 miles you either need to learn to drive or you need to take it back to where you bought it from and make them fix it. Even driving the crap out of tires, it is difficult to trash them in 7000 miles.
