Welcome!

Don't ever trust a dealer's word. Best way to find out is to stick a quarter in your tread with Washington's head going in first. If goes as deep as his hairline you're fine.

You're Bridgestones lasted longer than mine, so yeah they do suck lol. If you're just looking for standard replacements you could try Goodyear Eagle LS, as they replace the Bridgestones as of last year's model. Try http://discounttiredirect.com for better deals.

Stay away from the Eagle LS. These tires are downright scary.
Oddly they're okay in the wet but offer zero dry road traction and don't even look at snow. I've never heard the ABS rattle so often as with these banana peels.
