You're OK - You are not down to the wear indicator.

Default Nope... not yet.

But if it rains a lot where you live you might want to think about it in a few months.

Default I'm guessing your concern isn't tread, but cracking...

If they still handle ok, then you are probably fine. If they continue to degrade, you should start shopping. That dry environment could be rough on tires.

You might go to a track day &amp; wear some of that dried out rubber off. ;^)
