After reading the thread re tread depth, I noticed some members saying they swapped tyres front to rear to get even wear.
Yesterday my sister's car needed two rear tyres and she asked the fitter to put the new ones on the front and move the front ones with 4mm of tread onto the back.
The fitter said he would do it if she insisted but he recommended that she put the new ones at the rear, even though it is a front wheel drive Mondeo.
I have always put the deepest treads on the front, my logic being that when towing, I need all the grip I can get at the front.
What is your opinion please?
