How do you know?


The controller told me so.


In the US on Earth, the controller has to make certain assumptions. That #1
won't blow a tire is one of those assumptions, of course. Others include
that #1 won't slow a lot on final or dally on the runway.

And just to make matters "worse", I've been cleared as #3 or #4 to land. So
the controller is making a fairly lengthy chain of assumptions (even on
small planes, we're speaking now of 9 tires holding together {8^).
