Time for new tires?

My Michelin Pilot Super Sports (255/40/20 & 295/35/20) have all between 6/32 and 7/32 tread depth remaining and I am wondering if I can keep them for one more summer season or should I be replacing them with new tires.

Thanks

If I want to keep my 7/32 rear 295/35/20 PSS tires but replace the two front ones with new 255/40/20 PSS tires, would that be ok?

Thanks

Yes. Best to replace all four or in pairs as you’ve described. Why do you want to replace the fronts? Uneven wear? Plugs or patches from previous punctures? Stale dated with old DOT codes?
