Indeed: all illusions are eventually ruined by definition-Reality Sucks; However, having carefully perused Jimbuna's garage: Gear loading:

The choice of the main wheel tires is made on the basis of the static loading case. The total main gear load is calculated assuming that the aircraft is taxiing at low speed (being pushed by hand) without braking:
where is the weight of the aircraft and and are the distance measured from the aircraft's cg to the main and nose gear, respectively.
The choice of the nose wheel tires is based on the nose wheel load during braking at maximum effort: where is the lift, is the drag, is the thrust, and is the height of aircraft cg from the static groundline. Typical values for on dry concrete vary from 0.35 for a simple brake system to 0.45 for an automatic brake pressure control system. As both and are positive, the maximum nose gear load occurs at low speed. Reverse thrust decreases the nose gear load, and hence the condition results in the maximum value:
To ensure that the rated loads will not be exceeded in the static and braking conditions, a seven percent safety factor is used in the calculation of the applied loads...and have concluded that clamping on the shocks and temporarily bleeding 8lbs of air from the nose wheel will get it done! Or hang two 50 gallon barrels of Newcastle Brown Ale from the pointy end...!!!
