main wheel
Aircraft's primary tire
The main wheels are the principal wheels of an aircraft's landing gear, located under the fuselage or wings and bearing most of the plane's weight during taxiing, takeoff, and landing.
On vehicles generally, a main wheel is the primary load-bearing wheel as distinguished from auxiliary or steering wheels.
