Guys,

just swapped my tyres round (front to back) and was wondering how well they are lasting.

What is tread depth on a new tyre?

Potenza is the generic name for all Bridgestone's performance road tyres. You need to state which one you are referring to, i.e. RE011 etc

Come on chaps, how much tread on a new tyre??

Is it about 7 mm? Pretty sure I had some BFGoodridges fitted to 1.9GTI that had 9mm (but that was a selling point of the tyre - well, according to the fitting place who by coincidence had a 'large' stock of them!!!)
