Mchero, you are the one confused. :S
Cement and trash trucks often use super singles on the front that are wider than the one used on a semi. Heck, many of the big DPs are using 365/80/22.5 on the steer and tag axles... I would call that a super single as they will carry more than the 17,000 lbs/axle allowed on a semi with tandem axles.

When you calculated the weight savings was that based on the original wheels being aluminum or steel?
One steel and one aluminum per side... that is what I calculated.
Steel - 79lbs
Aluminum - 49lbs
Super single aluminum- 56lbs

"Bird Freak"......I didn't need to buy a Yugo years ago because I knew it was junk, I guess you may be different and need to experince failure to make an intelligent decision!
Last week I was looking at some brand new 2017 and 2018 coaches, they all had super singles.....NOT. The proof is in the pudding as they say.....you don't seem them on RV's. The ONLY reason to buy them is as a conversation piece. I guess if you need to something to talk about in a campground, buy a pair. You'll have both poeple talking to you and about you!

"mchero"......If you want super singles, buy them! You've spent this entire thread chewing out people who didn't agree with your attempt to justify the purchase of them in your mind.
If they were all that great, there would be more than just a few RV's using them. Even worse is the attempt by the ONE owner to justify why he wasted his money. He would have been the smartest guy around if they had become popular and he got his at a low price, before they went up, but they didn't become popular.
There is ABSOLUTELY no value running them on an RV.....a point that is pretty hard to argue, but I'm sure some will try, at least two on here!

I'm a retired truck driver who hauled super singles on a converter dolly and some trailers. I do not like how they track! And I did see one time a semi driver who made a very sharp U Turn with a trailer full of can goods and the Super single tires seperated off the wheel rims. I really like how they look but I don't care for them. Good Luck with your Super Singles if you decide to purchase them.

8 percent decrease in rolling resistance equals what? It does not equal an 8% reduction in fuel usage and it does not mean that you saved 8% on your fuel costs. You might save some fuel, but what happens if your one and only tire goes flat in the middle of nowhere? I had an inside dual go flat but I was able to limp to a town some 40 miles away without any damage to my coach. Would you be able to say the same?
