I keep seeing people bringing this up, but what this misses is that a significant portion of road construction and maintenance costs are not due to damage from tires, but other factors like weather (especially freeze/thaw cycles) and the need to widen roads to accommodate the amount of space cars take up while driving.

I support the idea of factoring in axle load to any future road use tax, but it's definitely not the only factor or even necessarily the biggest one.
