Is it safe to swap the tyres on my car from front to back?
Is it safe to swap the tyres on my Golf SV, front to back? The front have about 4.5mm back about 6.5mm. My aim is to even out the wear before changing to Cross Climates. I have been advised by a tyre fitting firm that it is unsafe to do so because it would have an adverse effect in wet weather.

Yes. Same size tyres. Swap front to back same side, not diagonally.
