Thanks in advance

The Dunlop runflats are directional so you need to change directly front-to-back. You can actually do this with two jacks if you're feeling brave (i.e. jack up one side of the car and swap the two wheels), but much better to have the car up on a ramp or at least have some stands (and make sure you know where the proper jacking points are!).
