Our RV traveling companions level only one dually on a side all the time (but I put leveling blocks under both dually tires per side).
What I've noticed is the extreme sidewall bulging on our friend's RV with only one tire of a dually set getting a leveling block. This bulging hour after hour has got to be stretching the sidewall material much more than temporary dynamic loading does.
Logically - that really can't be the best way to treat your RV's $$$ tires.
I agree with you. As an example let's take an E450 with 9,000# on the rear axle, or something around 4,500# on each side. How can putting that 4,500# on a tire that is rated for 2,470# in a dually or 2,680# as a single, be considered a good thing to do ?
