Considering duals versus singles in specing a new trailer. Was told by a fleet owner singles do not like heavy loads at 75mph speed limits out west and wear irregularly. In my operation loads are lightweight but I do run 75mph out of necessity at times. My question would be how do they wear under lightweight loads running 75mph for long periods? He also mentioned if a wheel bearing is not set properly it wouldn't take long at all to notice it on the inside shoulders it would wear down quickly. Like any tire really you have to stay on top of psi and regularly inspect everything.
Super singles (yes or no)

UrbanCowboy67 and nofilter Thank this.

I just run 70s or lower. Trucks aren't aggressive like cars. One hard turn and the truck rolls over. I would drive less than 70 to increase mpg and reduce tire wear.

Maybe u had low pressure. Add inflation system to the trailers.

There are some inventions that are NOT an improvement over previous inventions. I place s.s. in that catagory.
nofilter Thanks this. -
Do any of you really think tire companies would invest that much into it if it wasn't an improvement? As I said to each his own. Some people like them, some people hate them. It's like buying a truck, no one is better than the other in the all around. It's all opinion.
