Swapping front to back
Just wondering if I will see any issues swapping my front passenger tyre with my back one ?
Due to ahem "cornering" its worn on the outside wall. Passed MOT but I thought I could get more life out of it if I swap them ?

Yep, swap both fronts for the rear pair, I try to do this every 6 months or so to try and spread the wear and get some extra life out of them before replacing all 4 when needed.
I have the removal socket but no impact tools

Take it round to your local tyre centre and they'll get the broken locking nuts off easily enough - its the sort of thing they'll do off the books so give the chap a tenner and he'll be happy
Will take them no more than 5 mins.....
