I don't know exactly but I'd say 7mm was very nearly new, have a look and check for the bobbly bits on the shoulders

New tyres generally have 8mm.

These tyres are incredible in the dry but be very careful of Michelin Sports in the wet

Now if we were talking about Michelin Sport Cups...

As Pete says ~ I've seen new tyres quoted as 8mm - 8.2mm.
