Your tires may be below the min tire tread safety line, which would technically make them illegal to drive on. It would be the proper authorities to enforce this if that was the case.
In this case it does sound like they are engaging in some tied selling. "We won't return your car and car keys and have fooled around with your tires unless you buy 4 or 2 tires from us" This is also in fact illegal.
Perhaps name the shop or get the media involved including TV, print and radio along with the police. Ask the shop manager if he's ever been on tv before and tell them you want to warn other consumers of the potential scam going on here.
Get head office involved as well as they are most likely franchisee's who own this particular shop.
Type up a legit, well written and accurate email with a suggestion of going to the media to resolve this dispute and tell them to govern themselves accordingly.
Good luck but it does sound like you may need to find a legit tire shop here fairly soon, perhaps one that doesn't deal in such shady practices.
