    Well, you know it's only a small attempt - you don't point that weight from trailer affects only one point of frame - it's rather a continuous load. Same thing with how the suspension is build, if it's air or spring ride. Well lot's variables on the way. I just simply changed each wheel with small reaction, and calculated it, works, but as you can see, gives slight differences.

    Yes but on a 6*2 lift axle, it's common here, can't see any problems with a tandem either

    Michelin has some good videos that answer questions about Supers here: http://www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck/toolbox/videos-demos.jsp#xonetires

    Watch the "blowout" one and the wet traction one.

    SS are not for everyone or every application, but some of the resistance to them is just the old "we didn't do it that way in '52" type of resistance. You could go back to manual steering, 3" round mirrors on a stick and a 250 HP non-turbo diesel..........
