1) The tires have not reached the supposed "must replace" level,

from one side of the tread to the other (I'm sure there's a name for
this), but the tread is only about twice that deep.

Somewhere I got the idea that major car rental companies replaced the
tires will before this level**. Am I wrong about that? **(and
that's one source of used tires).

I doubt companies like Hertz keep cars long enough to wear out tires.
They generally replace them on a 2 year cycle or when they get into
the 40-50k miles range. Rental cars do not usually rack up that many
miles. My next door neighbor is the lot manager for Hertz headquarters
and he just got a 2015 Chrysler 300 with 20k miles from the used car
operation. ($14k)
Our local car rental fleets are generally under 18 months old -very
seldom more than one model year old, and usually current models. I
doubt any get tires replaced during their tenure as rentals.
