Heavy high-performance aircraft like the supersonic Concorde are very hard on its lowliest components, the tires. Both British Airways and Air France took steps to minimize this. In the end, a 16-inch piece of junk on a runway defeated precautions. Given the volume of air travel, an occasional piece of loose metal left on a runway is inevitable. Commercial aircraft must be able to survive running over such trash.
Most big airliners have multiple, fat landing wheels that stow in thick wings.
Supersonic planes require much thinner wings. And in order to fit the wheels into the thin wing, the wheels of supersonic craft are smaller. Thin wings require higher speeds for takeoff and landing, which puts greater stress on the smaller wheels. That is apparently what happened to the Concorde. Fuel tanks were punctured in the wing, causing the fire that brought it down.
