Bravo 1.9 Mjet alloys wheel torque setting

Hi people~~ the car has covered just over 3000 miles, i notice this morning, the front tyre has worn out much more than the rear, nothing new, as expect for a front wheel drive, I going to swap the front and rear wheel over this weekend, so they will wear out evenly and I can change al 4 tyres at the same time, just wonder does anyone know the torque on the 17s? it is a 150mjet if it made any different, Cheers.

Why?

Just bring the rear tyres to the front and throw new ones on the back. You don't get any longer out the tyres moving them around.

p.s. no idea of torque - until it's tight is a good idea.

yea, but they are rubber, over time the rubber will gone harden and start cracking, they might be a lot of thread left, but they dont perform as good, so would like to replace whole set at the same time.

The rubber doesn't harden that quickly, long as you're using the car it won't crack. Even my Tipo's tyres are still looking fresh and it's been off the road for 18 months!

That's before the argument against putting more tread on the front of the car than the rear.
