Thanks for the response all the tyres are the same brand ie Goodyear Wranglers, even the replaced one , so no problem with brands.

Isn't the whole purpose of a differential to allow one wheel to turn faster than the other? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

If there is only 2K difference I would not worry too much but to get the ultimate best wear and load factor I move my wheels back to front on the same side each year.

Agree. 2K won't make much difference. Newer tyres should always go on the back (see many threads on here for discussion!). In my 7-odd years of FL2 ownership I kept an eye out for spare wheels (I've got plenty of storage space). Ended up with a set of four 17" with winter tyres, plus a matching wheel with a nondescript tyre as emergency spare, and six 18" wheels with matching tyres. When I put the summer tyres back on, I just put on the best four, plus one on the spare and one in the garage. Tread varied by the odd mm but no transmission problems at all. Never bought a tyre in three years on my last car - the winter wheels were off the previous car, the spare was brand new and the extra 18" was bought with a brand new tyre off a forum member for less than the cost of a new tyre. And I gave away my old steel spare (less tyre) to another forum member. When I changed to the DS I managed to sell all my FL2 spare wheels on the forum. It's always worth keeping an eye on the "for sale" section. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Ah the Wintrax! They seemed to wear better than the Pirellis! Glad they suit you. Of course this year without winter tyres I had to encounter my first solid ice - on the NY Moors, and then again in the Cotswolds. Must say the DS on newish tyres coped very well - a bit of slippage but pretty sure footed and the electronics soon sorted out any problems. I'll be getting some new wheels and winter tyres for next year though I think. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
