Weird look, promo stunt for their new sustainable tire engineering. You're not really gonna SEE that very much on WEC/IMSA cars, only mostly the sidewalls, the wheels being covered by the body it's unlikely to be super visible..

"the French firm has set out to improve tire wear, consistency as well as the effectiveness of the warm up process as tire warmers continue to be outlawed in both the WEC and WeatherTech Championship. Estimates provided by Michelin place the gain on three to five seconds on the first lap compared to the tire specification that is currently in use."

Weird look for sure but Michelin has always been #1 in my book so let's see..
