Why not measure them yourself ?

Post a shot that includes the tread wear indicators.

Michelin Pilot HX MXM4s have a 300 AA tread rating according to TireRack:

Well, depends on what your standards are.

To me, those tires are absolute garbage. Replace them now, or as some would do, use them until you see cords.

They make tread depth gauges for a reason...

Also, posting a picture with a apeture higher than 1.8 might be a good idea.

definitely. you can see it's almost down to the indicators. not "bald"...i'd definitely rock them if i knew it weren't going to RAIN or SNOW soon and do so for a while... otherwise, i'd be in for it.
