Having just had my car serviced, I asked if they could swap the tyres back to front to even out the wear, sadly, I discovered it was not going to be so easy because of the pressure sensors built into the valves. Not a problem I have encountered previously because the computer has counted wheel revs. but now each sensor is linked to the computer, which will then give the wrong info. if the sensor goes back into the wrong location.
It seems the only way to overcome this is if the tyres are removed and remounted on the approprate rim, or else the valves are moved, amounting to the same amount of work. The cost for this work is liable to be between £50 - £150 depending where the work is done.
Has anyone else found a way around this, or, just swapped wheels anyway, if so what are the results?
