Hate to deflate you (groan), but I reckon those tyres were rooted long before you let the air out.
lol, pprass, that tyre was borderline illegal before you even left for the trip, not with 25% tread left. You do realise the tread indicators are just a guide and that you need to have that tread depth all the way across the tyre. If it's bald on the edge, it has 0% tread left, doesn't matter if the middle has 99% left, it's still bald, illegal, unsafe to drive even on tarmac.
Now for my 2 cents worth...
There is no way i would have tyres like that on any of my private vehicles,or work vehicles.
And absolutely no way i would go away into what is an area where tyres are not available, with them like that either.

I always look at it this way, No matter how bad the tyres I always carry as many spares as I can when leaving the tarmac because off road can be hard on rubber, especially shagged out stuff.
