this is a perfect example..
Just did a post to see how bald some of your tires are. Now I know the guy at the tire store was lying to me when he said MY tires were bad. I must have at least another 2000 miles to go.. Or maybe just 5 or 6 more good clouds of smoke...

I'd say you got all you could out of the original tires. Bet you notice a huge difference in the car when the new ones are installed.
