DRW VS SRW VS SBT
Just read yet another thread of SRW vs DRW got me thinking of a compromise getting more common on the bcubicig trucks. Single big tire. They look to be at least 50% more cubic capacity of a single.

- Not really following what you are trying to find out.
Anyways, those that do it with pickups generally go to a 19.5 inch rim and a load range g or h tire for a single tire with dually like load capacity. For pickup use they aren't really any bigger, just have a higher psi rating and can carry more load.
It is fairly common practice on the big rigs and like others have said they call them super singles. - I want to more about these wide tire sizes. What size would equal the diameter of the narrow front tires?
- They call them "super singles".
IMHO as long as you're within the load rating of the wheel/tire combo, they're OK to use. - My thought would be that the main driving (pun intended) force is cost: one big tire and wheel may be considerably cheaper than two smaller tires and wheels.
I think I would stay with 2 smaller tires, partly because I like the redundancy of the extra tires: if one goes flat I have another on that side. And I think the 2 tires would still give an overall increase in width over the SBT, and therefore maybe an increase in stability due to the wider track.
JMO of course. - Moved from Fifth Wheel Forum
