From a safety angle, I think its better to put the Yokos in the back.. U'll probably have some steering control even if they burst again. However, I noticed that the front tyres wear out faster than the rear ones.. so Yoko's in the rear will take their own sweet time to wear out.

Better still, get rid of them.. They are obviously from a bad batch for it to happen 3 times in a row. Safety is more important than cost of couple of tyres. I had a similar sidewall hole on one of the ES100 tyres. Cant call it a burst because the hole was small and let air out slowly. No idea how it happened because I wasn't driving the car at the time.
