Off-road with PCCB

Just wondering if anyone here had taken their cayenne with PCCB to off road before?

I placed my order last week with PCCB, but today a friend told me carbon ceramic brakes are very fragile and it's not suitable for off road (not even mild off road).

I planned to take it to do some very mild off-road once or twice a year. Hopefully someone here can help me out before its too late to make any change on my order.

Thanks!

I saw many video of CT with PCCB testing off road.
I don't think it is an issue.

PCCB's off road are fine
However the issue is the size of your rims
When I picked up my CT in April,i was offered the chance to drive Porsche's off road course with a CS(18 inchers)
When i told the Pro driver:why not try the course with my CT..his answer was:don't even think about it with those 20's
My 2 cts
PCCB's are among the best brakes ever built

I don't think it would be an issue, but...

My colleague took his Cayenne last year to Arizona for some off-road fun, came back with a damage ceramic rotor. Ended up a HARD small rock/pebble got in between the rotor and pad.

Mucho $$$ to replace!!!

How was your off road fun? I have the same plan this year with my CS with PCCB. What's your tire set up?
