As above. I now have more tread on the rears than I have on the fronts, and driving back last night in the heavy rain on back roads, made the front feel like it was Aquaplaning at times, although there is still quite a bit of tread left.
Has anyone swapped theres about, and what did it handle like having more grip at the front and less at the back?? Did it make the car more tail happy in the wet??
I know that on a front wheel drive car, your meants to have more tread at the rear than the front, which I've always done when buying new tyres (but the slightly worn rear to the front, and put the new tyres on the rears) as advised by Michelin.

Is it a good idea ?

Yes
You should always try and even out your treadwear. Having one end bald and the other fully treaded is a recipe for an accident. Also change them from o/s to n/s if they're directional.

I prefer to swap back to front to even out tyre wear as stated above but I also prefer dealing with oversteer than understeer. Just personal preferance.

If they were directional you would have to take the tyres off the rims.
If not directional then that will be O.K.

Be careful for the first 100 miles or so if you do swap front to back, they need to scrub back in since usually there is different geometry between front and back.

i have had these toyo t1-R on my car for about 6 months i recently swapped them round if you look carefully the rear tyres used to be on the front and they have worn on the shoulders
