[QUOTE="Burky, post: 166766, member: 1757"]Time to get into a little bit of name calling here just to clarify things. "Super Singles" are the name given to tires primarily used on construction trucks and dump trailers that they pull. They are a high aspect ratio tire, meaning tht they look very tall in relation to their footprint. For on highway use, the correct name is "Wide Base Single" and this is a tire that has the same height as a standard set of 22.5's or whatever size they are intended to be. They look low and wide, and are the ones like the Michelin X-1's that you see them installing on everything in the "Trick My Truck" series. Most likely everyone here understood what you meant, but there are some differences between the two types. I think Michelin or someone should have tagged them with the name "Highway Singles" to differentiate them, but they apparently have no one creative and stuck to the rather dull (but technically correct) name "Wide Base Singles".[/QUOTE]
