Sorry, just kidding. But the point is you need to either measure the tread depth or just compare it to the wear bars between the threads to see how much is left. Otherwise, it's not possible to answer whether you should put the new tires on.

Now if you just want to start using the new tires and don't want to wait until the old tires are worn out, that's different. Go ahead, enjoy.
Yes I spose I could clarify... I went out and looked at the wear bars and it seems as though there is very little tread left between the edge and the top of the bar but more between the tread and the area without the bar. Where the bar is, it's about 1/16", where the bar isn't it's maybe 3/32"

I'm thinking I'll go ahead and put 'em on. I'm just concerned about the new tires being driven 7000 miles right off the bat.
