The fronts are fairly new (3-4 months), and the rears are the previous fronts. I understand BMW NA recommends against rotating F/R, as the wear patterns are very different. Makes sense.I notice that the rear blocks on the outside rear tyres are completely worn, but there’s loads of thread left towards the middle. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing loss of rear grip, even in the dry. Of course, it only makes itself felt in more exuberant moments i.e. throttling out of underpass U-turns. I run 31 psi on all 4 - I use air and rely on the petrol pump digital gauge. I have no standalone gauge.Am I correct to assume that I am now paying dearly for my folly i.e. that I should have put the new set behind? If this is the case, should I rotate them now or should I just not bother, and change all of them in due course? If so, what tyre should I go for? Max I can afford is RM500 apiece. Is nitrogen really that much more stable?Normally, I wouldn’t be too bothered about this, as the car is a daily driver. But Bukit Tinggi is round the corner. This car is costing me a fortune in tyres.</p></blockquote><p></p>
