I had a thought of doing them more often and moving the top two to the bottom and new ones in the top as my top were fine but bottom were knackered

yea thats a good idea,tbh im keeping the top 2 as spares granted they have wear but will do for the spares box as a just incase,bit of a weak spot id say and my tyres are only small compared to the norm.
