Not sure about your particular tyres, but the Falkens on my Forester came with 7mm new tread and whilst have been decent enough tyres grip wise they haven't worn well and i wouldn't buy again.
Just looked up when fitted, the car has covered 20k miles since and they're down to 3mm, not bad you might think, except half of that mileage has been covered on my winter tyres, so at best around 12k miles, maybe near 15k when they get sc***ped...to be fair the car is fast with permanent 4WD and gets driven briskly.
Very few new car tyres come with a genuine 8mm or more new tread, Goodyear Efficient Grip come with 8mm, Uniroyal Rainsport 8.4mm similar found on Vredestein Quatrac and one of these will be my next choice unless something decent comes up at an unmissable price (to be fair the Falkens were stupidly cheap when i bought them, double the cost now)...beware, some notable premium makes now come with only 6.5mm new tread.
Its difficult to find new tread depth information, odd that when they're so happy to give all other info, wonder why? Camskill give new depths on most tyres, TyreReviews on tyres they physically test, if you find somewhere else giving this info please let us know.
edit, just looked on tyrereviews, your tyres came with 7.5mm new tread
