You might ask them how they made that determination and see if it makes sense to you.

They can't tell you if they have 10 miles or 10,000 miles left, since they don't know your driving style and probably didn't take an exact measurement.

If they are worn significantly and didn't tell you to replace them, they are then opening themselves up for grief/lawsuits later... not necessarily from you as an individual, but the public in general.

Best Regards,
