    Much less. In the winter, gravel yard, with hard packed snow, with a wet/damp top, you bring a bucket of sand with you to get the super single truck out of the yard... every time. Never spin a wheel with the duals.

    They'll be off as soon as I get around to it! Would like to throw them in the trash, but... I'm sure someone will buy them!

    I pulled this one with super singles for just a few weeks until the company got switched around. I HATED it. I liked the spread because obviously it kept me from being heavy on the drives, but hated the stupid singles....

    But it swayed so much around cuves because there was to much give with the side walls. Duals had twice as many side walls so they dont sway as much with the liquid sloshing around. it was a pain to pull loaded and it tore the hell outta the ground where i went. Those stupid singles loved to slide on wet roads.

    I remember my first experience. It was definitely NOT awful. For me, anyway.
