    Is there any safety or other reason not to swap a tubeless tyre from
    one bike to another bike of the same model. I don;t want to swap
    wheels.

    Thanks.

    No reason at all as long as the tyre and rim are in good condition

    What about those here who don't think a repaired tyre feels right?
    Would they feel the same about a tyre that has been moved?

    They're suually the sort who change tyres when there's 4mm left to go
    anyway, so **** them.

    No. Done it a number of times. Well, it's usually a case of refitting a
    part worn tyre that has been lurking in the corner of the garage e.g. after
    a new set has been fitted for a 3000 mile journey.

    I do it all the time, the current tyres on my bike are "seconds"

    I get them off racers that have only done a few laps on, the fronts
    brand new.

    Super Corsa Pros for 50 quid - marvellous.
