Most companies are running away from them.
Not only do you need to replace the tire but the wheel too. You haven’t saved a thing.

I might be wrong but I don’t think guys pay attention to their air pressure as much as they say they do so with SS you only have 4 to check and it’s easier to watch that

Yeah I don't much care for the SS tires. The funny thing is that I have not seen anyone else around here running them.

There are a flavor of super-singles that are for increased MPG called low rolling resistance tires. Those tires use a much harder/stiffer rubber compound and those tires have less traction in wet/ice/cold conditions. I ran super-singles in a HazMat tanker for 3 years that had a conventional rubber compound. I never noticed any difference in traction compared the the dual tires I have run the previous 20 years. Super-singles doesn't have to mean less traction. Prime, Inc made super-singles famous and Prime is all about fuel economy. Many people learned to equate super-single with less traction because of Prime. I have no preference between super-single and dual tires other than you can limp in with dual tires and you can't with the singles or you will destroy your wheel with the flat.

Not a fan of them. Outside of the usual reasons, I don't particularly like being reminded of my relationship status whenever I get to work
