You are right, safety comes first..furthermore never do balancing/alignment almost 5years ...  sweat.gif

Bro need to ask why need to put the back to front & back use new ones ?  shocking.gif

Some mechanics wont advice you to do this but this is the logic, your back tyres are 4 years old and if you dont rotate your tyres to the front your back tyres will have 4 more years or more. Im sure you dont want to use 8 years old tyres... dont you?

i just had bad puncture on sunday at lowyat plaza. Had to stop at the road side in front of lowyat plaza to change tyre. Tons of ppl walking by looking at me changing tyre. Also..thanks to a few youngster (one of them a mechanic) who came help me when I was stuck on jacking up the car. Eventually all done in less than 30 min. Continue my shopping at lowyat plaza. LOL....

I am not sure about some mechanics but nowadays most mechanics will advise you to rotate your tyres. The tyre shop that I frequent even stick mileage sticker to my windscreen for next tyre rotation. This is because they can make money. You go rotate the tyre sure have to redo balancing and alignment.

Im referring to new tyres only and not old tyres. Rotation of new tyres may vary depends either it RWD or FWD.

For old tyres you dont rotate your tyres that frequent in my opinion, I will only rotate once per tyre lifetime. You MUST rotate your tyre, otherwise you will waste a lot of your tyre tread. 1 more thing for tyres rotation, you may need wheel balancing (bagi sket la) but not alignment.

IINM, for FWD, should be new tyres at front, old tyres at rear.
