Hi SMOC,

Surely the force on the tyre/rim is proportional to the brake pressure during the deceleration.

Consider an RTO with maximum brake pressure applied on a dry runway.
Force on tyre/rim = Huge mass * slow deceleration.

When airborne, the force to stop the relatively tiny mass (of wheel + tyre) from spinning - (even if it was done with the same maximum brake pressure) resulting in a huge deceleration surely can NOT result in a bigger force on the tyre/rim.
