If the bearings and tires were to fail, then "yes" the plane probably wouldn't fly...again assuming the plane has wheels

However, you are the only one here that seems to be making that particular argument.

If you assume upgraded bearings/tires to deal with those new stresses (like a stock Xterra being given a Body lift and larger, more aggressive tires to handle tougher offroad trails) for the scenario - then the plane flies.
