It is true whether the tire is made from rubber, or steel, or marshmallows, or granite, or unobtanium. It is true on Earth, it is true on the moon, it is true in orbit, it is true on Jupiter, and it is true in the Andromeda galaxy.

Anybody who claims to have measured differently either measured wrong, or doesn't understand his measurements. I suggest a $1000 HDMI cable to go with those magic tires.
