    I am wanting to trade my 11r24.5 tires and steel wheels for your super singles. My tires are in good condition. The tires are not out of round and they have about 80% tread left. I am trying to max out how much weight I can haul, therefore I need super singles to drop my axle weight. I can trade steers and drives or just drives. I have four Yokahama TY577 tires and four Bridgestone M726EL for my drives. Your tires must have even wear, good tread, and not be out of round. I am in Brady, TX and I can swap out the wheels and tires at my shop. I use a torque wrench religiously if that counts for anything. PM me for more details. Thanks

    no problem, i got three good aluminum wheels, three good tires. on bad aluminum rim and one new tire (just put it on last Monday). I hope someone else wants to trade or buy these from me cause i'm trying to get away from the super singles.

    What offset rims and what model tires?

    I've got 8 very clean 22.5 alcoa alum rims. Tires all less than 30k miles. 6 yoko ty517, 1 gyear glh, and one yoko stear. Hey, sometimes you gotta suck it up on a service call. Lol.

    i'm not sure the offset, but I know it's a 14in wide rim. and Michelins all the way around. I have 8 rims at home, just haven't bought tires yet. I really don't want to store these singles either. And those service calls are the worst. TA made me buy a rim (which wasn't 14in wide) for $500 because they wouldn't mount my rim with damage. So i have that sitting at the house on the patio, along with the POS spare TA mounted to it.

    tread depth is no issue to get, i have that gauge with me. How do i determine the offset? My apoligies to the OP for running off with their thread.

    it should be stamped on the rim. if not you can simply measure both sides from the bead to the face.

    I figure I have to learn the hard way with super singles. Since I switched to them, I gained .3 mpg and lost 800 pounds. That is like getting rid of two fat girls. The ride is way better also. I get paid by the ton, so weight reduction is important. I can haul 55,000 and not bust 34k on my axles.
     
    mitchtazz Thanks this.
