I pulled the trigger on the Pirellis though since they are in stock.
European car = European tires. And they’re $200 cheaper than the Goodyears!

That's a pretty hardcore level of, uhhh... contamination - I haven't seen landscaping vehicles as dirty as this.

That’s absolutely disgusting, but it’s not surprising for a previous generation Sonata. I’m surprised it still has all its body panels intact!

The P7 Plus 3 was actually designed for the American market. I don’t think they even sell them Europe.

Please take off and let’s see a chase (not really). Remember the old W126 chase where the car basically couldn’t be stopped for a good minute. These big Lexuses are tanks too. I’ve been driving the LS430 lately a lot. I’ve noticed the door shutting is pretty ridiculously blank vaulty, just like a Mercedes.

Do they fill the tires with foam after mounting? I'm confused lol

Why do they have to be indicated as such? Can't any tire be foam filled?

They line the inside of the tire with foam, no they are manufactured that way.
