Tire Life of RE050A (sport tires)?

Wo, I got a little suspicious of those 9/32" tread depth measurements
(with 14.271 miles) from the dealership. I measured them myself and got:

6/32" and 7/32" for the front tires (passenger tire had a nail and was replaced early) and
3/32" for the rear

That's a lot more realistic. Time for rear tires

My fronts are too bad either, but I learned that I could get a set of 4 Hankooks for the same price as two rear Bridgestones.
