Pilot Sport PS2 Tread Problem

im in the process of buying a pair of PS2's and the person im buying them from claims they are at about 7/32" tread remaining but the pictures look like they are closer to 5/32" and they look VERY worn on the edges, just wanted to see what u guys thought before i screw myself

here are his pics:

about 180 but i could also get a pair of Potenzas with 80% tread left for 200, ive heard GREAT things about the PS2s and ive had the potenzas before and they handled great besides the road noise and how fast they wore out, so i cant really choose between the two!

I wouldn't buy them. In the second to last pic, I can see that the inner tread block has extreme feathering/scalloping. Those tires will roar horribly, guaranteed.

+1 on the road noise. Most of my replaced tires have decent tread life in them but the noise gets too much for me.

Also, that looks like you're buying two left side tires. I believe these are unidirectional as well as one sided.

Even if they are not unidirectional, you will have the tread angles facing opposite directions, and I don't know if there is any impact from doing this.
