I went to their US site, and looked at press releases by searching for zero pressure, and the top 3 hits were about their runflats for Corvettes, so it doesn't look like they're getting out of the business at all - http://www.michelinmedia.com/default...17&submit.y=14

But the new PS2 ZPs are NOT all season, they are summer tires.
