OK

I did not realise you were 2wd, so the 4 matching is less critical.

You are doing exactly as I do with our fwd Honda, replace 2 tires at a time, and put the good ones on the front. They get more wear from driving, more wear from braking, and most importantly, it is good to have a well treaded tire up front to prevent aquaplaning in the wet and to give good braking when you need it.

I never liked the idea of wearing all the tires down evenly by rotation. It means when they are nearly gone, you have very little grip for handling or braking. With two good ones on the front, you have a better margin of safety for more of the time.
