Go to Michelin's web site. You just might find your answer.

^^Those tires have had that tread depth since they were released years ago.

Yes, it's comparatively low though and other options have greater tread depths.

My 2017 GS had 7.2/32" in the outer and middle large groove of both front and rear tires (non-Cup2), but 6.7/32" in the inner groove. Being less than spec and the discrepancy in the inner groove surprised me so I checked another new GS at a local dealership and it was the same. So don't freak out if you see less depth on the inner groove and blame wheel alignment, that is unless its >0.5/32".
