Abstract: A wheel assembly having a wheel rotation axis; a rim with an outer surface around the wheel rotation axis; wherein the outer surface comprising suction ports; two tires mounted on the outer surface of the rim; a particle collector adapted to trap particles entering said particle collector; a particle suction system with a bladed suction structure configured for generating a suction air flow in the rim upon rotation of said bladed suction structure about the wheel rotation axis; an air passage connecting the suction ports to the bladed suction structure via the particle collector in order to suck particles through the suction ports by means of the suction air flow generated by the bladed suction structure.
