You can't tell from pictures if they are 50p'd. Only running your hand round it will you notice. 

Plenty tread left although if they are original tyres I would also get them checked as a minimum as 7 years is quite old for modern tyres. Sure I read somewhere that they are introducing a 5 year age limit at MOT.

Okay I think I’ll just change them then as proberly won’t be able to find out if they are the original ones been told The f1 tyres are best for these cars with road noise 

If the humming is not sawtoothing or anything else related to tyres, it could be a failed wheel bearing.

Tyres have the manufacturer date stamped on the them. 4 digit number it's either yyww or wwyy (can't remember) with ww being week number out of 52 and yy being year.

Also there are many recommendations for tyres but the eagle F1s are popular on here. I went for efficient grip performance based on experience on another car. F1s are relatively high performance so I would get whatever tyre type you got previously to match across the car. Many threads on here about tyres.

Well when I say new tyres I mean I only changed two as there didn’t seem any Were on the other two soo I put the new tyres on the front and the old on the back so I couldn’t say how many miles the old tyres have don’t but they don’t look worn atall and it’s a 2013 modle  

Seriously, always put new tyres on rear of front wheel drive cars, counterintuitive as it sounds.

I’m a joiner don’t know if you could class that as an essential worker I’ll give that ago put the front new ones on the back see if it helps

Regarding the date of the old tyres the only numbers I could find is 29/18 in relation to a date of manufacture 

So that would be week 29 in 2018.
