the legal limit here in the UK is 1.6 mm tread depth for at least 75 % of the tyre width ( last time i checked) get a pice of metal or wood or something that wont flex and put it it your tyre tread (in the gaps) and then mark where the top of the tread is on your object then take it out and measure it.
there might be another limit in the US so im not too sure

Being that your driving your car in everything, I think new tires would be a great help, preferably snows for the winter.

Don't sweat it. This guy had tires just like yours and he's fine. Nothing a few weeks out of work and a little buffing compound couldn't take care of.

Maybe you could buy his tires?

If you are asking your self if you need tires, you've answered your question.
