Ken: A lot of high equipment is trucked with tires flat, however it's blocked under the axles, for a number of reasons. Lowers height, protects tires and bind chains or straps stay tight better.

The first time I ever hauled a machine long distance was a self propelled forage harvester with flotation tires. Had it chained on 4 corners and on rough asphalt it just kept breaking chains.

Next 900 miles never broke a chain.
