New Michelin tire: Agilis CrossClimate LT

I have been researching tires to replace my factory tires. Came across these. Look very interesting. I would be looking at their LT version. I have not heard about these. Anyone know anything about them? Look to be too new to have any / many reviews out yet. Lots of info on their web page, and they carry the 3 peak mountain snowflake certification:

Some of their text reads:

Michelin Will Launch Agilis CrossClimate on April 1, 2019.

  • First post, so its worth the price you paid for it.
    I have a 2018 GMC 3500 CC SB, SRW. I just purchased a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 XlT's 295/70/R18 129 load rating. I have a Bigfoot camper, (3360 dry) and the OEM Goodyear Wranglers (265/70/18's 124/ 3525 load rating) were nearly maxed out. I wanted the additional load rating of 4080/tire. The tires are aggressive and have a 60K milage warranty. Super quiet. I did a lot of research as my truck only has 4250 miles on it and changing tires at this point was a major decision. No mods to truck to get 35's to fit!
  • Looked interesting until I read the comparison results of the Agilis wearout of 24,500. But given they estimated the Transforce At to wear out at 22,000 miles, have to take any of the results with a grain of salt.

    To me, it looks like the same tread pattern as their M&S tire except with a softer compound to get the snow flake. One thing to remember is to obtain the snow flake symbol, the compound must stay soft at cold temperatures. Softer the tire compound the quicker it will wear out, especially during hot summer temps.

    Unless you need the snowflake because of where you drive in the winter, I think I'll pass.
