According to the specs shown on Tireracks site, the MXV4 205/60/16's started at 11/32.
The percentage tread remaining will depend on how far down you decide to wear them to. Some prefer to replace tires at 4/32, others may choose to take them down to the legal limit of 2/32. Overall tire performance begins to be compromised at 4/32 and less, especially wet tire performance. Using 4/32 as the replacemnt target, that means 7/32 of usable tread life. You have used 3/32, or about 43% of usable tread life, so about 57% of tread life is remaining, all depending on even wear. Your 60% estimate is just about right.
