you are better to swap them in two's as you then have even grip on the same axle when cornering.
generally also if you have a FRONT wheel drive car put the best tyres on the BACK
rear wheel drive on the FRONT
4 wheel drive which ever suits your driving style
New tyres on front = back end going first
New tyre on rear = front end goind first
your choice pairs are best though

Not a true expert , but I always thought you should not mix manufactures on the same axle .so long as it's the same tyre should be ok ......now for the experts to have a say

Thanks for the reply mate,
I have a pretty much new tyre on the offside rear, and the new tyre will be going on the near side rear, if the 'old' so to say tyre is pretty new will this in theary be ok..

You could always even the wear up by sticking the old one on the offside front and the new one on the nearside front.
Nearside fronts on Scoobs are the fastest wearing due to the weight of the engine and roundabouts.
