Swapping wheel front to back??

[jhtrophy]

Agree with greenhouse. Fwd needs best on front as lots of power going through front needs grip and as said back does not kick out unless you ask it to. My Mazda on other hand nearly killed me in rain other day at 30 mph!!! Lol

Thanks for all the replies 

I think what i'll do is to move the rears with 5mm+ on them to the front and the fronts with 3mm- to the rear. Hopefully then i'll have more grip over winter and by next summer all tyres will probably need replacing.

Otherwise the fronts will need replacing quite soon and i dont wanna have to shell out for 2 new front tyres at mo as i'm skint!

I can see your logic, but you seem to be talking more about on the limit driving, which you admit. Whereas this probably only makes up 10% of an average persons driving.

I think you have misunderstood.  The reason why the best tyres should go on the rear is nothing to do with driving 'on the limit'.  It is actually to help in moments when ANY kind of driver needs to lift off the throttle when negociating a corner - maybe due to an unseen or missed obsticle.

However, my years in the motortrade, and I've been on numerous tyre / suspension courses, the safest and best place for new Tyres is on the front.

I think it best we agree to disagree on this one
