 Yes.  The loads are different.  I have a BMW with a sidecar.  There are 
special tires made for sidecar use, although a lot of guys use regular bike 
tires. Handling is much better with tires designed for the task. But, even a 
BMW with a sidecar won't put the loads that, say a Camaro would, on the tires.

Motorcycle tires and wheels don't seem to have problems when a sidecar 
is in use, or do they?

Wouldn't a BMW with sidecar put car like loads on the wheels and tires 
going over the Swiss Alps??

Just wondering....,
