Less tire deflection? although I think the ride will feel worse.

twas coincidence. A likely one though I think because people on twitter started tweeting pics of it just a few minutes ago. Bigger brakes are a possibility though I'm sure teams would be concerned about weight. I wonder what kind of tweaks Lotus had to do to the suspension to run those rims.

i read somewhere that one of the reasons is so the development of formula 1 tires is more applicable to road sport cars tires.

That makes sense, But now shouldn't they be making the tires last longer, instead of less?

That's code for "marketing think we'll sell more P-Zeros if they look more like F1 tyres".

They can easily make them go race distance, the current tyres have designed-in degradation to force pitstops and 'promote overtaking'.
