Default Front tires worn, must I replace all 4??

I put Continentals on my 06 LX470 and while the rears have plenty of tread life the fronts are terrible. The tires do not have many miles on them and I am thinking about switching to Bridgestones.

1. If I change brands must I replace all 4.

2. If I stay with the same Continentals must I replace all 4 or just the fronts?

1. No.

2. Just the fronts is fine.

How often do you rotate the tires? My tire guy says every 5 to 7.5K. When is the last time you had an alignment done?

The vehicle is my wife's. It definitely needs an alignment and this will be done prior to new tires. I thought that rotation was being done within 5-7.5K. The LX470 probably doesn't get more than 8k miles per year.
