...a combination of lower flap and overspeed schedules may be needed to obtain the high end of the MTOW capability for an aircraft .. ie you have to have very long runways to use every last kilo capability.
Yup, sure do.
An example is with an L1011 at JNB...flaps 4 required to obtain the max weight possible, and every bit of the 14,495 feet of runway is used, with an improved climb speed schedule.
Tires?
Better have good ones, as chucking off bits at high speeds ain't good.
