Alternating wheels to even out tyre wear

[gasfit]

Has anyone alternated the wheels on an mg5, and did it cause issues with the tyre pressure monitoring systems? Cheers

I had mine swapped front to rears at the 1st service. You just need to remember when you check the tyre screen. When I had the tyres replaced with Michelin Cross Climate 2's they were put back in the correct locations.

Many thanks , much appreciated. Just to clarify, no changes need to be made to the car tyre pressure monitoring system when rotating tyres (car sensing system is not wheel position specific)? Cheers

No. Just remember the fronts are on the back, not that hard?

For clarity, the TPMS is wheel specific. Move the wheel and it's data changes position on the screen even though the labels remain the same.
i.e. if you move the right front to the right rear and vice versa, in the car the screen will report the front right data at the right rear etc..
This is the case of the pre FL as in @Jomarkh post #2

Is it possible and is it expensive to have the readout corrected to the new positions?

Yes and Yes!

Yes, fronts to back and vice versa, still got 4-5mm all round after 26k miles ?

Lots of arguments for and against rotation. Personally driving my grandchildren around almost every day I subscribe to considering replacing tyres when below 3mm, possibly delaying a little if that occurs in springtime but definitely for winter. I get about 3 times the life out of the rears than the front and avoid having to replace all 4 at once by not rotating.
