'IF' when you've changed two tyres there is a vast difference in tread depth front to rear, then I would advise changing all four, if not such a big difference don't.
Course, changing all four would mean that you'd have predictable handling too!

I've been told that every service interval (or 6 months) you should rotate the tyres so that you get even wear. Makes sense to me.
