  thinking of doing 10,000 more miles by which time the rear should be down to 3.5 mm, and the front about 2.5 mm, and replacing all four corners. In my experience the rear are the more important. I'm a pretty sedate driver, although that does not account for any other muppet on the road. Thoughts?
