Really important - far more than people seem to realize - the guys here rotate my tires every oil change - they last a long, long time (but it also goes to alignment school a couple of times a year, so that probably adds to the longevity of my tires).
So, you shaved the tires for your subie - I thought about doing that with my daughter's but, when I figured out I would be sacrificing a little over 25% of the thread, along with the $17.50 per tire to get them shaved (by a good shop), plus I could sell the 2 'good' tires for $25, it seemed more cost effective to get new tires on all 4 corners.
And 2 new tires mount on the rear - let them scuff up some, and wear a little before you put them on the front.
