So it should be easy to tell on your TM if that is a problem. How do the wheel wells look? If they are not torn apart, I seriously doubt there is any contact. Dimples and dents from pebbles, dirt, and other road debris, sure.

Agreed. Our previous popup had a severely under-rated leaf springs (or we were severely over-loading the trailer
), and when they broke, the trailer floor dropped onto the tire. The tire's tread never separated, just wore down as it ate into the trailer floor.
