Dates please?

You can apply for an early extension. However, the early extensions usually cause problems at the time of settlement, as applicant struggles to complete the five years stay requirment.

After your convertion from Tier 1 to Tier 2. You wouldn't be able to get your Tier 1 visa extended. Moreover, there is no returning back to Tier 1, if later you change your mind.
The question is... to be or not to be....

u can apply early but leave granted from date may not align with ur current expiry date and chances that you may have shortfall for ILR. How on earth can you have T2 visa and wishing to apply for T1 extension !!!! Hope you aint on drugs even thinking that !!!

Hola! As i told i am having T1 visa which is expriring in July, i have two options either go for T1 extension or switch to T2. I am thinking to go for t2.

I was thinking in future if want to work for other companies, can i apply for T1 again?
Or it is one way traffic?

No - T1 is closed now !!! So you will not be able to achieve what you are attempting.
