Swapping wheels around

[flobbernoggin]

So whilst dodging a large rock jn the road ive managed to kerb my front left tyre and take a chunk out of the wall and scratch the alloy a little.
I was going to replace the rear tyres at some point (Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, if anyone has any opinions???).

My plan is to take the damaged wheel and tyre off, swap it for the rear left and then get both rears replaced.

So can anyone tell me if:

1. this is stupid
2. everything will be fine with the TPMS once ive got all the tyres to their respective pressures


Cheers

I have no recommendation for tyres but I'd go for XL (extra load) rated ones.
The TPMS will have to be reset which the tyre fitters should be able to do. Just make a note of which tyre went where until they get reprogrammed.

If you don't reset the TPMS then it'll think the wrong wheel has a fault.

And remember to keep the wheels on the same sides. ?

If you simply swap the tyres and leave the wheels as they are, I presume it's OK?

That is, in hindsight what I'm going to do, less work me, more for the garage

You just have to match the load rating of the original tyres, which IIRC is 95 (on the tyre wall)

Just put those on the rear of mine on Friday. Seem OK on the 80 mile round trip to see my parents on Saturday (mainly motorway). They are XL.
