You can't really predict how many more miles a tire will last, but you can use a tire tread-depth tool (cheap) to measure how deep the tread is. Most tires come with 10/32" new, and wear out at 2/32".

So, for example, if you measure the tire you want:

- at 8/32", there is 75÷ life remaining
- at 6/32", there is 50÷ life remaining
- at 4/32", there is 25÷ life remaining
