Depending on the aspect ratio of the tire, you'd still get sidewall flex. But if you are running at max load, you'll negate a fair amount of it.

Forgive me, I was bored.....
ITS AN EXTREME. Its suppose to be so over the top as to knowbody would ever confuse it with reality. ITS NOT FEASIBLE... JUST AN EXAMPLE...
