For what it is worth, I put a foam and BID block on the underside of the
centre of the (XS) tunnel, immediately above the centre of the tyre/tire (!)

It is very effective; ie, when my Inspector asked me to change to a
different tyre (which turned out to be narrower but with a greater rolling
radius), we could not retract the undercarriage. We had to cut a small
amount off the foam block.
