Is it advisable to swap the rear tyres to the front after a certain mileage?

Just asking, since the front's seem to wear much more than the rears.

Yes - I've read this is recommended on this site, just make sure if the tyres are directional that you keep them on the same side of the car

One key issue is that 4 wheel drive cars like to have the same traction at each corner - hence mixing tyres is not advisable - I sawp after about 7k (fronts to back and vice versa) to even up the wear.

Good news longer between tyre changes - bad news 4 tyres at once!
