I was thinking about the difference in dual tires between US and Europe.
In Europe tandem inline is partially forced by narrower roads and you often see double steering axles, what is unthinkable in US, but thinking about it, inline wheels on sharp turn will bend and tires can bend sideways a lot, while US dually have 2 tires turning at different speeds against each other.
I had 3 axle equipment trailer and did not have excessive tire skidding unless I come to jack-knifing it.
Bottom line, I love to watch the movies where 4-axle trucks take 120% grades.
