Hey, I figured I'd give simulation a try, I've never used it. Why is all of the load focussed on a single point (which seems to be in the center of the plate I have set up below the tire.

Do not let the load icon fool you.  Unless you isolate the area the force is applied, it is applied to the whole plate.  In the Screencast I demonstrated this by splitting the face and applying a force to just that area.
