I put the new tyres on the back, but.....

Just had 2 new tyres (for the MOT), which went onto the rear axle, as recommended.

I want to replace the front tyres after next payday. (Month away)

By that time I will have covered about 500-600 miles on the 'january fitted' new tyres.

Should I still put the 'coming soon' tyres on the rear again anyway, or will they be okay on the front?

I will have only covered the 600 odd miles on tarmac roads...

Thanks in anticipation. Mike

Just to be on the safe side swap them to the front and have the new ones put on the rear.

Good call, I wouldn't have thought about side swapping them....

Thanks

Hi, totally agree , just make sure you get 2 the same make/model/size to match all 4 !

I wouldn't have thought 5/600 miles would make any difference to tyre diameter, and if it had, I'd be taking em back. Just shove em on the front.

Thanks Guys, just had three* fitted for the MOT - funds wouldn't run to all five in one go, so next payday, the garage are going to do the remaining two.

* one pair on the rear and a replacement spare - which had a damaged sidewall on the inside of the tyre!
