My recent MOT flagged up the front tyres on the Octy as being past their best, so I arranged for two new ones for fitting today at my local National Tyres depot.
I was expecting them to insist on fitting the new tyres on the back and moving the part worn rears to the front, but when I mentioned it the depot manager said that this was a common myth and he always makes sure the best tyres are on the front. As this is my preference anyway I went along with him.
Incidentally, I was pleased with both the price (£57.50 each, fitted, for Barum Bravuris 2s via tyre-shopper.com) and the service. Corrected the tracking for a reasonable £20 too.
