I seem to have no problem with the tires whatsoever, i've only had one occasion of the tires blowing because of Pilot error. If i was to mention any
tips to generalise, because obviously each plane will be different to how it acts;
1) Bring the speed really quite low according to its weight, i can bring in a 744 on 150knots no problem whatsoever.
2) Don't just leave the Autopilot system to come real close to the runway, you'll find doing this will cause the plane to really go straight into the
ground. Go manual at around 500ft and ease the speed at 100, and remember to give efficient flare upon touchdown !
3) Try and get an add on for GPWS, i.e. Fscopilot. This is really usefull instead of judging when the tires will hit the ground which could cause you
more risk to blow the tires.
Lastly... PRACTISE !
You'll get the hang of it and develop your own technique to land. Practise with different weights and speeds to find it more
comfortable.
