So, toward the end, the rear has worn out a lot while the front was still quite fresh.Now, with a new pair installed at the front, and the front recycled to the rear, we have the same configuration again, with the front having slightly more tread than the rear. So, I don't expect much change in the behaviour of the car.I am now getting annoyed with a persistent vibration from the front. Checked the wheel bearing and ball joints, they were ok. Ah Ming did a thorough on-wheel balancing (although he did not rotate my tires on the rim like I asked and instead put two dozen weights on the rim, the obdurate git!) and guess what? Still vibrates. Going to go back to do the alignment to see if that helps. If not,  I suspect possibly shock absorber mounts.</blockquote>
