I am running Pirelli Scorpion ATR 255/55/19 all round and had them on for 2 years in April.
After 26k miles I am pretty impressed that the fronts measure 5.6mm and the rears 6.5mm. So still plenty of rubber.
A little bit of advice and general points of view / opinions would be appreciated please gents.
Should I rotate the wheels and put the fronts onto the back?
Or is there a risk that if I do that the current balance and setup of the Disco is compromised? I had a pricey 4WD alignment done when the new wheels and tyres went on.
If I do swap should I just go front to back or should I swap diagonally? I believe the Scorpion ATR is NOT a directional tyre.
Anything I have missed or I should consider before upsetting the equilibrium?
Thanks in advance.

Swap front to back if you wish, but definitely not diagonally; for the health of the diffs, never mix different tread depths across on axle on a car like this  2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)
