single dullay wheel(s)

[oi8228oi]

i was talking to my girlfriends father yesterday and he was telling me that some of the trucks that pick up boxes from his factory have single extra wide tires in the rear instead of duals... i was wondering if anyone else has seen this revaltaion, and if its avaliable for dually pick ups... ive never seen or heard of it before but would love to see and get em if theyre real....

just give me some input please....

there's several dump truck's and semi's runin back and forth from the gravel pit's that only have four rear wheel's instead of eight. they've been available for a few year's. first time i saw them was in louisville a few years back.

I need info.

the tires you are talking about that semi trucks run are called "super singles"
alot of trucking companies are going this route to reduce weight. less weight, more freight you can haul and be legal, (80,000 lbs being legal) i have also seen them on deisel p/u's that have big lift kits. they do look pretty cool.

maybe i should get one of those kits to switch to big rig rims and get em. they would have to look bad espicially in crome ... and traction for get about it . well thats another day another dollar, i should say another year another grand or two.

anyone know any sites that have them???
