Tire weight also affects braking force and distance, and can cause heat buildup and glazing in the pads.

Steering components like tie rods and power steering pump will also suffer from the extra force required to overcome the larger contact patch. Then you take it on a trail and multiply all of the above by the stress of inertia and articulation.

I guess the operative word here is "can". But in my case and Sewies, it hasn't so far.
