DRW vs SRW safety, tire blowout

the ONLY time a comparable dually is putting more rear braking force into the pavement is once a srw would lose traction, assuming the dually wont.

Of course, there is no SRW that is comparable to a DRW. You can try to cherry pick some spec to make them seem the same.

If you want to play the rotational mass game, go find the actual numbers. The front tires/wheels of typical F350 DRW that are small 17s are much lighter than the typical F350 SRW running stock 35s and 18s or 20s. I think it's likely that there is little difference in the entire rotational mass, but wouldn't be surprised if the 6 DRW stock tires don't weigh less than SRW.

You have to ignore every person who's driven both SRWs and DRWs with the same TC to believe DRW/SRWs are equivalent with the exception of two less wheels and tires. You can do that, but don't kid a kidder.

Well, taking a typical 20” OE srw alloy wheel and OE tire and drw OE outer alloys x 4 and steelies x 2.
Tires are about 10lbs less/ea x 2 = -20lbs + 2 more tires @ about 45lbs /ea so about 80lbs more rear tire.
Rims, inner drw steelies and 20” alloys are about the same plus add 2 more drw alloys at 30 lbs/ea, so about +60 lbs in rims.
All in, about 140lbs more rotating mass on the rear axle with a drw.
Front is about 20lbs lighter per wheel alloy to alloy. So -40lbs up front to the Dooley.

All in, not kidding, since I did look it up even before you suggested I do that while speculating, yourself, drw is about 100lbs more total rotating mass between both axles.
And over 100lbs more on the axle in question.
Thanks for playing….

And I never said they were equivalent. The lengths some of y’all go to to put words in people’s mouths is amazing.
He11, I’d have a dually for anything much heavier than our old AF 860 campers. Never disputed that. Just disputing the false claims. Like a dually has better brakes and stops faster …
