My main concern is not the take off but the landing, with a lot of braking effort I assume going through the front wheel there will be far more stress on the tyres than initially designed.

Thus my thought of would it be better to have two front tyres like the F-35 C as dragging an aircraft, with a blown tyre, out of the landing area in a rough sea state at night with others waiting to land back on with heavy loads does not sound much fun...
