Tyre Swapping

[ztuned]

hi people

i was just wondering if its ok to change my two front rims around with back rims

as the tyres at the back rims have about 10%-15% thread left, and i lose traction easily in the wet, where as the front has a lot of thread left

would it be safe? to run 10%-15% thread on the front? would it affect handling/cornering?

i will be getting new rims soon and dun wanna waste money buying new tyres at the back

i think the width of the front and back tyres/rims are the same

cheers

well to be honest, its best to have the tyres with better tread on the front as you steer with the front 2 tyres. Id rather lose traction from the rear tyres than my front tyres.

just my 2 cents though.

I think that it's easier to control understeer than oversteer. So, better tyres behind. I'm just an amateur though.

I'd rather have better tyres up the front. IF you're going around a corner and the front lets go in the wet, you have no steering.

Having said that. If ti's that bad, either buy new tyres or don't drive. Is it worth skimping on tyres and crashing your car?

just change them, not worth being done by the cops becuase of it and having your car off the roads

can u get done for 10%-15% thread left?

there isnt any problem with the tyres in dry, and at this time of the year it's rarely wet

just saving up a bit of cash b4 i can get some new rims+tyres

you dont need to swap them. just drive careful in the wet. that's my opinion
