Every time the DRW vs SRW debate starts up, dually owners always point to the safety of having 4 rear wheels in case of a blowout while driving. What I am wondering is has anyone actually experienced ...

My dually is more stable than my SRW trucks.
Is it the out rigger effect or is it stiffer sidewalls? Does it matter? From the drivers seat I can feel a noticeable difference.
My dually also has more braking power, it certainly stops my trailer much faster the my SRW trucks. Again this is determined from the drivers seat not from the text book.
Yes but I have 2 extra tires transferring that braking force to the ground.
For the same reason I believe SRW trucks perform better in snow because they have less ground contact and dig/sink into the snow for better traction. DRW trucks have more ground contact and brake better. All my comments are from real encounters from the drivers seat not from trying to match part numbers or derived from what I think might happen.
Once you have experienced the performance first hand from the driver's seat, you no longer have to imagine what will happen.
You’re still being credulous here, imo. I too have driven and towed with countless duallies and srw trucks. And I don’t recall that general behavior. If thinking apples to apples for comparisons.
But it’s fine. We all have our own views and opinions. Cheers!
