In general aircraft tires are designed for a short run at the speed appropriate to the airplane they fit, followed by a significant cooling period.
In other words, they may be rated to carry a much heavier load than a 8cwt at higher speeds than any CMP can hope to achieve and still fail from heat stress after a short/slow drive (by vehicle standards).
