At least with my new tyres, when the fronts lose toi much tread. I can just buy 2, and put the rears on the front. Which I presume you have done

I tend to find that when the fronts wear down the rears are still good, so I replace the fronts at one stage then when they need replaced again that’s when I do all 4. Worked like this the past four times

The problem with that is that you're always driving with a period of uneven treads. And you have to make twice as many visits to the tyre shop.

It's easier to just buy 4 every time and chuck the half worn ones away.
I probably get through 4 or 5 sets of fronts for every set of rears. As long as the tread is the same on the each axle i'm cool with it. Never had an issue and at £130 a tyre it soon adds up.
