The first time I checked mine way back they were waaaay past that, I think almost 4mm of wear. They still looked good and I had even done my first track day with them (and I was pretty aggravated at the shop that I paid to do the pre-track inspection for not catching that)
This is the real method to check. Usually done with micrometer. Calipers will measure the lip by mistake. Or if you have any visible cracks, they are done.
