Depends on what the original tread is. Some new tires come with 11/32, some come with 17/32... look up the brand and find out how much it comes with brand new

Those tires have 18/32 new... so almost half way done with. Your call, I would not get them for 600 bucks with almost half life left when you can get brand new for roughly 900
