    I miss 8 bag for two reasons.
    1. If you blow a bag, your driveline angles between the tandems isn’t affected. Blow a bag on a modern LowAir or AG400L and you are disabled on the side of the road same as a super single tire does.
    2. If you have 38k on the trailer axles and only 28k on your drives and try backing uphill from a dead stop……4 bag rares up on you making it nearly impossible to get started feathering the clutch with any finesse.
    If I could have ordered my 389 with AG400 8 bag, I would have!
