If the front tires are clearly heavily worn, it is recommended to swap the front wheels with the rear ones. As a result, all 4 wheels will have approximately the same service life.
Safety instructions
Do not replace wheels individually, or at least replace both wheels on one axle at once. Always install tires with a deeper tread pattern on the front axle. Only install tires from the same manufacturer and with the same tread pattern on one axle. Only install tires that are more than six years old as a last resort, and be careful when driving. Do not use any used tires whose history is unknown. When replacing rims or tubeless tires, it is essential to replace the rubberized tire valve for safety reasons.

Tires with a tread pattern that allows rotation in only one direction have the direction of rotation indicated by an arrow on the sidewall; in this case, the prescribed direction of rotation must be maintained. This ensures optimum tire performance in terms of aquaplaning, road grip, noise, and wear rate.
If the spare wheel has to be installed so that it rotates against the direction indicated by the arrow, this position of the wheel should be temporary. It is especially important to remember this when driving on wet surfaces and to select the driving speed in accordance with the quality of the road.
