Washed mine 2 weeks ago, lots of mini-s**ts all over it from the birds within 48 hours
And yeah you can see from the depth markers in the grooves that the tyres have generally got a fair bit of life left on them, just the outsides have been subjected to unusually high wear. This might not be due to your driving but may in fact be due to running the tyres at too low a pressure, incorrect tracking or incorrect camber.
Although it may be legal under the 75% at 1.6mm rule, remember that the worn bit is obviously a bit you're using a lot, so if it does wear down to nowt then I'd be a bit worried about it myself!
