Boy my jaw dropped when I saw the Chevy crew cab haul the eagle cap TC that had the door on the right side. 1165 I think? It had the super single tire on instead of two tires. I want one of those so I can go on the dirt paved roads and not worry about rocks get stuck in between the tires. I cant find them anywhere here in Colorado. Do any of you use those tires? pros and cons? I don't want to change trucks to SRW. I love driving with the dually, which gives my peace of mind. thanks folks

Would love to know if they were an actual super single rated tire, or if they were just using an under rated mud tire.

I would give Stockton Wheel a call , see what they have to say because I have read they have some experience with it . http://www.stocktonwheel.com/

Was it a super single (extra wide) or a 19.5" SRW?IIRC the smallest true super single tire is 40" tall, which means the truck takes a lift or some serious fender modifications... on the plus side they can carry 10K lbs :-)

Take a look here:http://1stattack.com/super-single-wheels-2/The nice thing about these is you can use them on all four corners, and only need to carry one spare.

I don't know if I just noticed it but seems like a lot of semi's have recently started going to these.Seems like a nice option but as someone else mentioned, they are so big a simple bolt on replacement is likely not an option.

They use 20" rims with LRE tires. That is big hit in payload/axle capacity.

Not trying to split hairs, but they also use Continental MPT tires with rating from 4,500 lbs to 6,500 lbs for a 37-41 inch single tire on their 20 inch rims.

Thanks, I didn't see tires on the site other than the Mickey Thompsons. For some reason few of the images were loading for me and the information I found was sparse. How common are these tire sizes when you get a failure and need to replace them?

Link to the MPT's:

A lot of semi's use them. They are only for the 22.5 rims. I do not know if they make them in a smaller size . From what I have heard, some of the drivers do not like them in the rain or snow. They hydroplane and get pretty squirmy.

The reduce the unsprung weight as you only have one rim and one tire ,albeit a wider one. Weight is very important when you are grossing 80,000#. Weight is also money in fuel.
