Super Singles safe practices?

Our trucks have the XDN pattern when new.

 

I dont mind a smartazz comment sprinkled in here and there..
I mean, the cruise control comment wasnt like some histerically funny joke, but, still...

He's just mad cause his is broken, an old cable style pull throttle lock, and he;s got 555 miles of nothing wyoming to do!!
The jokes on him!!!! His right leg is hurting!!! LOL

Thanks for your comments tire masters, I learned alot in here, mostly, still wanting to hear some blowout stories tho

 

My only blow out with a super single was on US 14, in western Minnesota. No damage to the truck at all. It did make a big boom though. And I pulled over as much as I could, half blocking some farmers driveway. And sat there till the service truck arrived. When this happens to you, tell them to bring a new rim too. The old one usually has too much edge ground off to use again. Or maybe the tire company just ripped off my company. Or they where simply playing C. Y. A.! He had a bear of a time finding somewhere to get his jack under that would do any good. The axle ends up just a few inches off the ground.

 

I've drove nothing but super singles in class a's.

Rain is worse than packed snow.
Don't panic driver.

ice...well that's still ice.

You combine tag axles and super singles and throw in the rocky mountains and come back and talk for stories ;p

I've had way more troubles with spinning coming up on a wet i35 from Laredo than sliding around in BC.

Just slow down until you learn how to drive sideways like the Canadians.

You'll get to the point where you can feel the vehicle thru your butt and whole body. Literally you'll be able to sense a change of conditions with your ###.


Point is don't underestimate rain its more dangerous than snow in my opinion on singles.

 

Not being familiar w/the Goodyears you are runnin....I really do not feel comfortable making an air pressure guess....However I do feel typicallly manufacturers are going for higher psi...as a way to further better rolling resistance....w/out much thought to traction differences....but that's jus my opinion......course if I were you I wouldn't be afraid to exeriment...and I would suggest in the beginning.
..to only make adjustments when cold....specifically after a night/day off--then pay close attention to that tires psi gain when heated under a load....then once you have a pretty good handle on that...u can start playing w/different pressures to see how traction is improved/or worsens under different conditions.....like anything else its a learning curve....be careful..m
