Another intersting point is that for rigs with rear duallies? nuh uh...can't air down...the rear tires will rub together. And yes one can buy gizmos that 'might' keep them apart but no gaurantees and fit is an issue too. I cannot mount them on mine.
Very good point, Gary!
I think of the non-tandem duallie air down problem every time I read about airing down - due to sidewall rubbing.
Airing down with duallies isn't an issue with tandem duallies ... as are on some rare motorized RV's ... but of course are on TTs and 5'ers.
Also - since duallies present put more surface area on the ground than single tires do - I wonder if under-loaded per square inch duallies on the rear of an RV actually need as much, or any, airing down in many soft surface situations?
