Not valid if not tested on TnT roads. Nothing can simulate our roads.

Didn't really specify what "any" means.

In tests with a 285/30R21 tire driven through a pothole*, the standard rim version punctured the tire at 28kph whereas the Flexible Wheel with the MICHELIN ACORUS Technology did not puncture, or sustain damage at any speed.

*80mm deep, 700mm long, 70° impact angle
