Come to think about it, it's not averaging we need. The landing gear calculations are a vector from the midpoint between all wheels and as such should be added as a vector product to the calculations tot the separate wheels.

?? Not sure I follow you.
While the wheel dynamics allow the wheels to move sideways easily, the landing gear dynamics does not allow the landing gear to move sideways (easily).
So apart from the the individual wheel dynamics we also need to calculate the dynamics of the complete landing gear. The resulting forces and moments should origin from the point exactly in between the horizontal and vertical location of all wheels.
Now the resulting moments and forces should be added by the results of the individual wheels, not by averaging it, but rather by vector mathematics.
