Tyre rotation

[Booth11]

I'm another "new on the rear" voter but with only 3k on the rears it would be pointless swapping them to the front Madame Booth no matter how bad your car OCD is! 
So yes, go with your original thoughts and those of italvaltainan.

Car OCD?.......why I'm sure I don't know what your'e talking about 

You've managed to make me sound both crazy and like french brothel keeper at the same time........class 

Cheers

It's all down to perception - I was going for fussy and sophisticated!!!

Now if had been Frau Booth it would be an altogether different thing!!

Well, of those two, I'd better go along with the first description, even though the second sounds like more fun 

Common sense will prevail, I'll stick the new tyres on the front.

Normally I'd say put new tyres on the rear, but in this particular case, I'd put them on the front.

If you keep the part worns on the front with say 6mm of tread on them, the new ones on the rear will always have at least 2mm more, as they won't wear as quickly as the fronts. Putting the new tyres on the front will mean with the fronts wearing faster than the rears, there will be a point in time where they have caught up with the wear rate of the rears and you'll have all 4 tyres with equal tread depth. On that particular day, pick out all the stones out of the tyres, make sure that your center caps are the right way round, jack the car up to rotate the wheels so that all the valves are at 6 o Clock and your OCDness will be at peace. Well mine would anyway.

Do I detect a heavy hint of sarcasm
