    Default Tires

    For the counterweight vehicle of my cran(four tires) i need some ultra strong tires that can hold 300 tons.
    I have tried lowering and raising either damping or stiffness, so far i got a bouncy wheel that can take max 200tons. What can i do to increase the maxload?
    If you wanna follow my modeling type http://two66.com/render_##.png replace the ## with numbers.

    Have a nice day!

    make more wheels slightly apart from eachother so it looks like 1 wheel. Then you should have a max load of 400 tonnes

    Wheels = lag
    And i already have 28 with the crane spawned, so id quite like to keep as less wheels as possible.

    piont taken
    What about making the spring & damping twice what it currently is or would the wheels explode?

    Yes they explode when i do that, can we stop guessing now, i need some actualy values i could use.

    Try halving the damping.

    It would be easier to help if you posted the wheels section, or the whole truck file so we can test what would work.

    Increasing weight along with the damping and spring rate could help. Beams with high damping rates need heavy nodes.
