Michelin set to double tire life and increase traciton
Michelin seeks to double tire life, increase performance - Autoblog
Parasitic power loss has been the bane of automotive engineers for decades. Be it from drivetrain components or tires, only a fraction of the energy created by our favorite four-stroke sequence actually finds its way to the pavement. Michelin recognizes that tires play a particularly crucial role, especially when its research shows that 20-percent of energy is lost through the rubber gumballs. So the French tire firm has set a goal to lower rolling resistance by 50-percent, while simultaneously doubling tread wear and reducing braking distances.

i HIGHLYdoubt it will be cost effective for you on your next few sets of tires, but this sounds like it'd be an increase in all areas with very little tradeoffs except maybe price but that will be offset at least somewhat by having to buy tires less often, hope to see how this works out, it could really mean alot in the motorsports world too, faster corners, and less pitting...sweet

nah, cause if you tires last twice as long that means you will sell half as much
