Pirelli made the outer shell of the tyres thicker as well so i expect punctures but not that many as most people think...Do you think the teams would allow using a tyre that would compromise their chances ? also there is the safety aspect...i doubt FIA would allow a tyre that would cause that many punctures as people think....

Lets wait before we run into conclusions. Also cutting the corners isn't a main issue in punctures, pot holes and sharp stones in the stage ususallly cause the cuts...
