I never said you have to be a kiss ###. I said you have to pay your dues. You can't start out making 80k a year home every night with holidays and weekends off. Most guys start out Otr being out for weeks at a time and move companies or positions in order to get to the better place. When I started I was out for a month at a time and home for 4 days. Now I'm home every weekend and off every holiday.
No more super singles?

Actually those are fairly accurate numbers on SS I you maintain them correctly and rotate them regularly. Air pressure and rotating the tires and the important things for tire life.

Michelin has a pretty informative website. I went through the whole thing and watched a bunch of the videos. They make a pretty convincing case...but...
If they save weight and fuel, and look super cool - why is it still rare to see a truck with them on? They aren't that new anymore.
Hopefully the future is clearer by the time I have to spec a truck. -

Since this thread was active about 3 weeks ago, I've been taking an informal survey of truck and trailer tires. I only counted trucks that are highway trucks, that I saw on the I-10. Out of 420 trucks and trailers I saw only one with SS. 1 out of 420!
I love the look of the SS. I love the science behind them. It appears though, the SS have failed horribly in terms of market penetration. I was hoping the SS made sense, but it would appear that anyone buying them is a bit of a test subject.
I thought some of you may have been interested in my findings. I'm not here to debate this either way - I know nothing and am just trying to learn and do my own research.
