Yes. I'm impressed with it. When we changed to her second set, there was 3mm tread left on the first set Maybe good for a couple more thousand km. According to Toyota, 2mm is the absolute minimum.

... but according to Associations of tyre manufacturers, it's 1.6 mm or 1/16 inch. 
Even michelin themselves (with their vested interest), say can use up till 1.6mm safely (for their own brand of tyres though) :https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/products/...um-tread-depth/

“Safety is a result of overall performance, not just tread depth," said Roget. "Our tyres are designed to work right down to 1.6mm. As a result, we tell our customers that they shouldn’t replace Michelin tyres until they reach the limit. Sadly not all tyres perform in this same way. That's why we want to see a new rating system and performance standard for worn tyres."
I guess for those on michelin tyres, you can stretch your wallet further to compensate for their slightly more expensive tyres.
