I have been told my tyre is not repairable - of course.

There will be different opinions about this but with 6mm left on the other tyres I would get 1 new one and put it on the back. 2013 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black |

I've got 5 & a half! 6 rims & 5 tyres at this stage, & then will swop as mentioned above. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Ensure that you have the same tread depth across an axle. You'll need to replace tyres as a pair.

Puncture repaired, 'not a problem' ,the national tyre fixers I went to were just doing their usual sales patter!

I'm not sure why they say do not rotate the tyres - from memory they also say the tyres should be rotated from side to side! Since I swap my tyres for a winter set and back every year, I'm unlikely to remember which one goes where anyway. I just aim to ensure matching tread depth on each corner, and particularly, as you state, on each axle. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Agreed. As long as the tread depths and tyres match across an axle, you should be fine.
