Nice video demonstration,

It's what I thought after you mentioned it.
Back to front wheel swap before I go anywhere. Thanks again, I
would've overlooked that with all the other things to do.

In 1995/96, I swopped my Triumph Toledo's set of five "original" Cosmic 13 x 5½ inch alloy wheels for a set of GKN 13 x 5½ inch Dolomite Sprint alloy wheels and transferred my Firestone S211, 185/70 R13 tyres.

On the Cosmic wheels, the tyres commonly leaked air, so I had inner tubes fitted, which I also had transferred across onto the Sprint wheels.
