I thought about the psi as well. They showed the tech guy checking the pressure with the supposed journalists present but without a clear statement who knows. Was the prototype running higher pressure as part of the new technologies?

Did you notice the "wow" in the sidewall of their prototype LRR summer tire?
I think that they used some video editing to simulate the side view during the tests. At the end you don't see a camera on the side so it's hard to say if the tires were the same as the run they showed from the side.
