treadwear question

Anyways, I would usually answer a question like this myself using the search tool but its been broken so I figured I'd just ask. I'm currently still using the stock michelin pilots and was wondering where the hell is the treadwear indicator? How can you tell if its 2/32, 3/32, 4/32, and so on?

OEM tires are good for around 50K-60K, depending on normal driving habits. Most of us here have changed them out since the performance is lacking. You can check tread life by...http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=51

Dealer said I have 7/32 on the rear and 4/32 on the front, that's now reversed since I had the wheels rotated.

I still have the original OEM tires on my 06 tsx, bought new 11/06. The last time I had my car serviced (55,548 miles), the service advisor told me I had at about 10,000 more miles of tire life left. It is now at just over 60,000 miles.
