Moving wheels front to back (tyre wear)

[rs-le]

Morning Guys & Girls

Anyone moving there wheels about for even tyre wear as fords recommend?

Im going to swap mine about today for the 1st time as the fronts are slightly more worn than the rears, so I’m trying to get even wear

Are the Michelin Pilot super sports directional tyres?

Not done it on this car yet but have done on other cars in the past, seems to work well, Just swop front to rear.

Tyres are not directional.

They are marked inside/outside and called Asymmetric

the cross system is best as usually the near side tyres wear more on the outside edge it’s the roundabout effect.

Just had my wheels repainted, so I did do a front to back swap on refitting, they done 11500 miles so the front were a little more worn.

Fords top diagram is a funny Idea! Ive always put drivers front to passenger rear and the passenger rear to drivers front, then the passenger front to drivers rear, and drivers rear to passenger front. Onnit. Innit.

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?
