help with tires

Please don't flame me too bad lol

I've really only had jeeps so I don't know much about car tires just mud terrains for jeeps. Found a guy trading his 350Z in and he has sport rays with tires and is going to trade me for my base 18s and tires and some cash.

I've been trying to see if these are summer/winter/all terrain tires. He says they still have 50% life (I haven't seen them in person just this pic). I assume that these are summer tires. He says they are bridgestones.

He gave me the option to just buy outright or to do a trade. I don't want to put replicas on my Z but as much as I want volks I am already saving for another Jeep. Hoping this is a good deal. I would feel comfortable still picking them up even if the tires needed to get replaced. Trying to figure out the whole fitment thing is a lot. Yall have some great looking Zs.

Regardless of brand and type, the photo seems to depict a legally-bald tire.

I just thought it was weird that it still had some tire grooves but all the sipes look like they are gone. I've already been texting him telling him the tires need to get replaced. He was asking 900 for the set and I told him $500 is what i'd give for the rays and i'll replace the tires. gives me a chance to powdercoat them black as well. Judging by the prices inside the marketplace and ebay $500 is still a great deal. I just am more concerned with him saying 50 and it just not looking right that I should be looking for damage on the wheels. He was firm at 7 but down here it's a little harder to sell Z parts I've only seen a couple Zs floating around here since I bought mine.
