On the bright note the Michelin ICE-X 3's performed very well, passed many cars in the ditches, and many driving 30 in a 55-65. Slushy wet snow and didn't get much pull from them... kept good traction.

1) 6/32" tread left (or whatever is half of new). Tread depth is important for deeper snow.
2) Noticeably worse performance than I'm used to with the set.
By retire I either drive them into summer down to "bald", or sell them at like $25 a piece in the spring, knowing people need tread depth to pass inspection.

Yes. Your tires should have come with paperwork and/or the warranty is stated on Michelin's site (attached).

I finally got to try the Touring tires in the snow (Conti ProContact). I was actually surprised by the traction on 2 inch of untouched snow on a steep garage ramp. However the breaking is literally a disaster if there is anything more than a coating. Probably because of the silica. I know, I know, it's not a snow tire.
