I, too, like the Bridgestone RE-720's but they do wear quickly.

generally I ditch tyres when the tread is down to about 3mm but I ran my last set (Continental Premium Contact 2's) down to the wear bars with no ill effects.

I only swap F to R, never side to side even with a non-directional tyre as they can give funny balance issues if the tyre is suddenly asked to rotate in the opposite direction.

I, too have the French car issue with the centreless wheels.

What idiot invented those?
