Roth - You sound about as cheerful as someone when the blindfold is put on before the firing squad! Remember that Michelin may not necessarily announce a formal launch, but is possibly more likely to roll out the system quietly (maybe in process now?) with selected trucking firms to maintain an orderly build up to avoid technical hiccups or demand exceeding the supply system. Central to much auto delay that people disregard has been the continued squabble over the Tread Act requirements. It's not TRT's fault that the Act was not implemented in Spt 03 as originally ruled by US Congress.
