Another test. They state a winter test will be conducted.
Tire Rack, does state that shaving the tire is not exactly the same as a worn tire.
Quote:
*While shaving rather than wearing tires to 5/32" of remaining tread depth doesn't have the exact same influence on the tread compound wearing over several years of driving, shaving allowed us to test these tires under the same conditions.
They have done this for quite some time though and the results should be comparable.
Anything beyond the limited data available (which seems to support the idea that the tires do what Michelin says they do) is guessing.
