Sure glad I have a dually
Experienced a flat rear tire yesterday on my truck while pulling a fifth wheel back from Upper Michigan. Wasn't a big deal because I was able to drive it to the nearest gas station/truck stop, unhook ...

Many of these discussions on the boards, and we may never know the real answer. Sorta like the debate over David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar, not going to win the argument. However, 18 wheelers are converting to 10 wheelers, going to the single tire instead of duals. Maybe they know something.............
That's true. On the plus side they get .3 -.5% better mileage and the biggest plus is more payload. Down side is a blow out which they can't limp to the next exit. Any steer axle tire failure you'll be on the side of the road. Any SRW drive axle you'll be on the side of the road. A DRW drive axle will make it to the next exit. Funny just what the thread stated :B
Those super singles are nice but they are a major investment that only the high mileage guys could ever justify. Pretty sure that's why the Big Three don't offer them as an option as of yet.
