    Fellow with a lp single drop on 17.5s told me he has the third axle half for weight and half to keep the weight per axle down so the little tires don't get too hot spinning around at highway speed.
    Thoughts?

    I understand that some people "need" the extra headroom........hence the 17.5s. I am not a fan on little tires and brakes. Not saying there is never a need........just not a fan!!
