 Is it possible to rotate your wheels front to back on a DS4 with TPMS, how are the wheels monitored?

Thanks

 Does anyone know if the TPMS on the DS4 is direct or indirect?

 I thought it was indirect.

What's the thinking on rotating the tyres?

I've had to have a new tyre put on my offside front wheel and the tyre place suggested putting on the rear nearside so I thought I would do the others also.

Looking on the web the consensus is the newer tyre should go on the rear.

This was the thinking a couple of ears ago; however things seem to have gone quiet lately. The actual advice is/was that the tyres with the most grip should go on the back as it is easier to control understeer than oversteer. Some believe that you nee d the best grip on the front for best braking.

The main issue for me is, what type of tyre has the best grip. Is a new cheap Chinese import better than a worn premium brand. Also the best grip for a tyre may depend on whether it is wet or dry. Anyway the best grip for a particular tyre is not when it is new or when it is near worn out, but around half way through its life!
