I need to replace 2 tyres on the car as the tread is very low (barely above MOT limits), and another 1 has a little more so it makes sense to do that too.

A few questions:
1. Is it worth just doing all four at the same time from a driving/safety perspective? The 4th has a couple of mm more than the 3rd, but it's not like it's significantly newer.
2. I'm on Pirelli P Zero that are made for the Volvo, should I stick with the Volvo specific blend?
3. Should I even stick with Pirelli? Also thinking of Michelin Pilot Sport if I end up replacing all four and can think of another brand.
4. Black circles quotes a per tyre price, but no discount if you do more than 2 at a time... Do places do discounts for multiple tyres or should I just expect price x 4?
For reference this is what I run today: https://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/pirelli/p-zero/245/35/R20/W/95/f?tyre=39897313

I've got about 22k miles on them, they're the set that originally came with the car, although two experienced punctures in the first year in South London.

I'd recommend changing all four. It saves having to go through the hassle of ordering a single tyre and having it fitted in X months. Also from a handling perspective you'll have consistent grip across all corners of the car, which I think is the safest option.

Pilot Sports and P Zero and both great tyres, I'd be happy with whichever you can get the best deal on.
