Would those tires be the Michelin Cross Climate?
I would never use them on my truck but they might be useful on a car. I'm curious about people's experience using them.

Yeah, we love them a lot, best tire ever. So be prepared to lose a couple mpg's but only for the first month, yes they are that grippy. But then I swear you will see mpg's go up, because my wife's commuter car is on a schedule I know to the number her mileage because every week I have to add gas from the can to make her week, so we avoid a trip to the station this way. When we first got the tires it was nearly 4.5 gallons everytime and we would get the gas warning light. Now no joke it is 3 gallons and we have never gotten the light. Because my wife drives so much she really programs in to the strategy of just driving to work and then home, we drive the truck on the weekends and odd trips. We don't have a winter on the new grip level year 2, so ask me in january how it went, but the first winter was unbelievable, you could NOT get these to break traction and for the record this was the raineist coldest longest winter I can remember in nor cal, and she travels to a rain forest for work, the redwood grove area of nor cal, which is why we bought them in the first place. I personally don't want the plastic gimmick at this time, so I don't know what we will do when these wear out.
I thought about them for the ram, but I am glad to be a part of this forum and the guys said that was a nono.
Now my position has changed since I started the thread, because I appreciate that angle about synthetic rubber and future military needs, great point. But I don't want it on the wife's car who travels extensively so our family can eat and have a roof. But I do see the value as a resource. What pizzes me off to endless extent, my state forces high cost of bottled anything, doesnt give you close to full value when you recycle and I go once a month to recycling center, and then they take the bottles I recycled and throw them into the dump. It is rather tragically funny that the most woke state can't even get recycling right. I really hope this technology takes off for so many uses, and I sure wish we had a place to store used plastic, which is likely the largest challenge.
