Apologies if this is a stupid question.

I've noticed after 2 track days, the fronts of the AD08R that were on the car at purchase are getting towards the limit, probably 3/4mm left.
the rears however are fine, loads of life left. Because i'm a tight northerner, i'd like to extend the life of them if possible but as a complete track newbie, never changed over track focused tyres.

Is there any considerations i've missed? The tread seems directional, so i'd probably looks to swap N/S Front - N/S Rear etc.. But i'm not sure.

(Awaits blasting!)

id suggest less understeer and more oversteer to wear the rears down as much as the front.........Sweedishbiggrin
But it is French, and Incapable of oversteer!

I hope to rectify this end of the year with a rear ARB
