I dunno about that. The polyurethane used in these tires is a close cousin to the polyurethane used in inline skade wheels. And on clean tarmac it feels like my ankles would snap before the wheels would break free.
Maybe it'd be a difference it you're riding aggressively, and really pushing it. But I haven't noticed any issues with cornering on dry roads.
