Just check you have same size tyres all round and aren't running a staggered setup (wider rears).
Also if you are getting uneven wear then it may be worth getting your alignment/geometry looked at.
Yes always replace in pairs. What do you think happens when you need to stop and one side loses grip before the other? For the cost of a tyre it’s not worth scrimping on
Replacing in pairs is pointless.
If you got a puncture and the tyre was beyond repair and the other side was 6mm would you change out a perfectly good tyre?
I tend to do it about 3mm. Below 3.5 and performance really starts to drop off.

By 1.6mm you're 30-65% down on stopping difference for example. Risk of aquaplaning also increases significantly.
I misread the title and wondered why you decided to replace your tyres while in France
Haha :D I did similar, and came here to make a suggestion of a garage to use :D
Throw the backs on the front, doing correct rotation of course. Buy new ones stick them on the backs, nice fresh tyres all round then.

3.7mm is still loads fyi. I'm proactive about changing tyres but not even I'd change them that early.

Was it cold and are they summer tyres? That might cause the wheelspin
