Oh ok, The full weight of the rigs is on those tires and blocks. Well, not all of the weight because some is on the front legs just like an FW RV. When I say landing gear I mean the front lift legs. I always say that tires are taken for granted and are an absolutely incredible product when we consider what they go through. Its just the sight of that incredible amount of pressure with that type of blocking. Maybe its no big deal or maybe it ends up being the tire that just wasn’t able to last as long as the others.
What indication do you have that the tires are loaded to over 30% of rating? Looks like about that percentage of normal footprint. Do you have any idea how often a fully loaded tire contacts like that on the highway?
And with 1 block ahead, the other behind center of axle, probably chocked pretty well. I would want 2X6, 2X8 or 2X10 but most use what they got.
