The look of the tread is rarely the first sign of tire wear. Usually the sidewalls show wear first. I have had tires go significantly past 3,000 miles. Usually the rear wheel shows significant wear first, but since I would never, ever want a front tire blow out, I always change them at the same time. Bottom line, keep an eye on them, but don't rush to judgement.
