So Michelin wants to play and make better more efficient in every way tires? Yes, it's not exciting for 'regular fans' but for the engineers it has to be as exciting as a new engine or aero part. And I'm guessing they aren't looking to slow the cars at all with new tires. Use less rubber, increase lap count per tire, decrease fuel consumption all sound like Michelin's goals in racing and making an all weather racing tire can be part of that idea. And more than a few times they have talked about limiting the number of tires shipped for each race meeting as part of their overall reduction in costs and consumption.
