Yes I know it should be in the tyre section just need a few of the SMACS opinions 
Whilst checking my tyre pressures ive noticed my rear tyres are almost if not onto the wear indicator
- should i change them now or wait a bit? (current tyres on rear are pirelli p6000)
ive got 2 new goodyear eagle f1`s in my loft ready to go, once these go on they will match my front which are quite new, so i will put them onto the back and the rears to the front. if you know what i am banging on about
or should i stop being tight and change them anyway
thanks in advance

If they're still legal Justin, keep them on the back. Only change tyres when they're illegal or damaged.

I think user manaual suggests not having more that 2mm difference in tyre tread depth between all tyres. Bald rears and new fronts would be more than 2mm, more like 5mm different.
Buy them in sets and rotate them often, that keeps them reasonably equal.
