Note that suggesting it's 10x the wear is greatly exaggerating

Weight increase is ~30% https://www.politifact.com/article/2023/jun/21/carry-that-we...

Road Wear is related to weight by the 4th power...a 30% increase in axle weight is like 2.85x the damage to the road.

Ya I didn't have the figure off the top of my head, it does appear to only be 1.3x to 3x which is really not much more.
