At 6k you could be halfway through those tires. Personally, I would buy two new ones and keep the good one for next time as already suggested. A tread guage is real cheap and will tell you where you stand. Check the tread depth on the good tire and I'll bet you'll be able to decide easily. F1 tires have only 8/32 to start with I believe. Tire rack site has the data.
