That's a pretty accurate, professional, industry standard recommendation. I dont know your weather patterns up there, but here, in summer, it rains every afternoon all summer long, then very dry winters. So down here, I would absolutely replace those 4/32 tires, put the new tires on the back, and rotate the backs to the front. If its dry where you live, then you could rotate the tires and get a little more time out of them. (If I lived in Arizona, I would literally get 80K miles out of my tires. I would run them to the very end)
