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 ...

However, 18 wheelers are converting to 10 wheelers, going to the single tire instead of duals. Maybe they know something.............
"18 wheelers are converting to 10 wheelers" - :?.:@
Hmmmmmmmm - *some* fleets have converted their HDT Class 8 *tractors* from 10 wheels/tires to 6 wheels/tires by using Super Singles to replace the 2 wheels/tires on each end of the axles of the rear (tandem) axles with one wheel/tire per axle.
(Tandem reduced from 8 to 4 tires/wheels, plus two front steers = 6)
Some of the above have not been happy with the experiment and have gone back to the standard tandem set-up, of 8 rear wheels/tires.
