well this isnt an official for sale thread.
the tires are the sport continentals.
actually the mileage might be less since the previous owner has a second set of wheels for winter.

Many new tires come with 10/32 or 11/32. Go to any tire shop; they will measure them for you, although some tire shops have already shaved their gauges so that the customer thinks he/she has less rubber left.

NAPA sells a tread depth gauge for about $5. They might left you borrow one at the store.

They are probably not worth much of anything to sell given there is additional cost to remount and balance on another set of rims. But there is enough tread that you wouldn't want to just trash them. Like was stated earlier, put them on and get at least another 10k out of them.
