Swapping Tyres Around
 
My fronts are about 45-50% more worn than my rears, I read somewhere it is recommended to swap them around to get the best life out of them? Is this true? If so, will swap them around when I paint my calipers! :D

On my cars i usually swapped then at ~ 15K miles although up to now I've never had 4WD so not sure if I should do it 2 or 3 times instead of the once.

On mine currently teh fronts at ~ 75% worn, the backs about 50 so when I get to washing it next week I might swap them

Yes, do it
 
I just swapped mine round on the S4.

I keep an eye on mine and as soon as I spot more wear on the fronts than the rears, I swap them around. Well worthwhile IMHO - the fronts naturally wear more than the rears, so you're simply getting maximum use from the tyres.
