Michelin would never put themselves in that position.
whilst it’s working for them commercially there’s no issue is there? if you think the f1 tyres will mean the road performance is affected then you don’t really get it. f1 isn’t about transferrable tyre tech. if they want that they’d need to run road relevant tyres and... well. see formula e.

and if you don’t think michelin produce some unfit for purpose tyres you probably need to watch a bit more motorsport!
