They may only have 5K on them, but I would ask for a tread-depth check on them. Have the seller take SEVERAL side view shots with a penny inside to confirm tread depth. If seller will not do this, I would pass.

Maybe they were only 5K if you measured "straight" down the street

Jazzer

PS. They appear to be a year or two old as I don't see that tread pattern any longer. I would expect the ORIGINAL tread depth to have been somewhere around 8/32"~11/32"

I am sorry, you STILL cannot tell the actual tread depth via those pics. They may be as advertised, but I honestly don't think so.
