I just purchased the P7 for a Toyota Corolla a few months back. the sidewalls were paperthin. You could flap the sidewalls in and out like card stock.
Ive had multiple sets of these on different cars and I’ve never had one issue with a sidewall...Makes no sense that would contribute to failure of control arms.

Theyre the quietest best riding tires I’ve had.

And are you sure PZeros came OEM on the Sport? I don’t believe Lexus has ever used any Pirelli tire as OEM.

If you read the description new tread compounds and design to improve wet traction, new internal,construction to reduce noise, and the tread is deeper.

Just read it. Very impressive. Seems to address some complaints I’ve read about inferior wet driving. Nice!
