He starts a bunfight over some load of waffle and then just loses interest.
Did he ? I thought it was my statement that started the controversial discussion...
On the topic, sometimes one can come quite close to the tire limits, even more so with a tailwind. I remember flying the C650 were you could come as close as (IIRC) 5 kts to max tire speed with a certain emergency (was that the stuck stabilizer?). Land on a TW runway and you might have a real problem.
Brake energy limits (as ATC already pointed out) might be another consideration especially when one lands and say, just drops a pax and then takes off again. 20 kts of groundspeed (10 HW vs.10 TW) can make a huge difference there...
