    the two different shops said for me i cannot swap them to the front as it will probable make a steering shudder.
    Ah ok I'll take that into consideration as well.

    Thanks.

      Was it new bitumen? My car absolutely howls on new tar.
      The front tyres we've got have a specified rotation on them so I think they can only be swapped front to back, not left to right.

      It makes the noise on any asphalt really, be it the Monash freeway or some roads around Berwick.

        Fine
        put front straight to rear.
        put LR on RF
        put RR on LF

        They'll howl for a month or two until the tops are knocked off the feathers.

              Yeah I think these tyres have got ripped up from our driveway lol.
              My sister wonders why the wheels spin going up a steep hill made of gravel at 3,000 rpm in first gear...
