Load splitting for better stability on the roll out. Large tires have the aircraft higher maing it mor unstable as it rolls. Also somewhat less likely to drop a wing tip if a tire blows out on landing or takeoff.

Why does it have all those little wheels?

  Well, that I understand. I was mowing on my John Deere and had just about finished the front and back when it wouldn't turn for me and I noticed the right front tire had gone flat! Unfortunately someone borrowed my air compressor and now I must call him to return it! I'll just let him fix my tire. He owes me.

    That fault is common to many who borrow tools. I'm guessing about 1/2 my tools are at my son-in-laws houses. I didn't learn not to lend them out and I don't want to upset my daughters.
    Guess I'll have to live with it,at least with them.

      Tools are some of the most valuable things a man can own. The right tools can save hours on some tasks or give you results that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. I never loan out tools, I treat them as books. If they want the experience of that tool, they can do as I did and buy the damn thing themselves!
