Why did single wheels never really take off as replacement for dually wheels on semi trucks?
>>27024330Ever have a blowout on an 80k lb vehicle? I want that other tire there.
>>27024330Because a single 15" wide tire has the same load rating as a single 8" wide tire.
>>27024330they're good for owner-operators that have good maintenance practices and carry their own spare. unfortunately, this is not the case for most drivers.
>>27024330They suck in the rain and the snow from what I've heard.
When u blow one the wheel hits the pavement u sit on the side of the road exactly where u are and wait for them to bring a new wheel and tire out. I’ve driven 120 miles on a blown dual tire loaded.
>>27024351Does that mean a single 4" wide tire also has the same load rating as a single 8" tire
>>27024330They hydroplane alot and blowouts on super singles are more likely to make you lose control. Blowouts on duallies are so minor that you have to check your mirror to notice and if there's no scales around you can just keep truckin to the truck stop
>>27024351Why?
>>27024833Yes. Im actually running triple e-bike tires on my 120,000 pound rig.
>>27024618why does every single trailer tire sound like its coming apart but the ones on the trucks towing them are whisper quiet
>>27025023Because the ones on the tractor are retreaded every six months and the ones on the trailer haven't been replaced since the Clinton administration
>>27024330Diesel mechanic here, everyone is wrong. The load rating on these large tires is actually superior then running two smaller ones, not to mention traction and balancing two separate wheels, and slightly better fuel economy.The issue lies with retreading these, the infrastructure doesn't yet exist to economically re tread these tires in most countries, especially America. Essentially they're too expensive to maintain right now.
>>27025996Hey diesel mechanic. 9 year owner operator with 1.3m miles HERE.Your a dimwit and spewing misinfo.The only pros are that they are lower rolling resistance than 2 duals. Which is better fuel econony. And worse traction. U can’t have both sorry. And they’re a little lighter(200lbs each axle) vs a set of duals. That’s it’s it. No other advantages. So if ur a fuel hauler doing a 150 mile radius they are fine. For OTR they’re trash. Also post a video of yourself mounting one by yourself so I can laugh at you struggling on the side of the road on the drivers side getting side swiped.Megas change switched to them and switched back. They’re trash and on the way out.
>>27024330you need a crane to change a wheel by the roadside
>>27024618You blow one frequently don't ya faggot
>>27024925Sidewalls are what matter most. One wide tire has less sidewalls than 2 narrower tires.
>>27026374No. My dad bought a set of like 20 trailer tires from a shady source maybe 5 years ago and they all blew one by one eventually. But now I run Michelin on the tractor and general on the trailer now. Drives for 400k+ steers have been doing 180-220k and trailer tires last Atleast a year with no issues which is fine. My 12ft spread axle is harsh on them at times. Also I appreciate your trolling as it allows me to shamelessly word dump
>>27026245You must be Persian, only they would show their bank balance to win an argument faggot. No one cares
As a company driver they're fine. Call the mothership and have someone from Love's come and sit on the side of the road dealing with swapping them out when one blows. As an O/O who has to deal with that expense out of pocket? I would go with the duals and the ability to limp it.If traction is such an issue that you're worrying about duals vs. super singles then you should be thinking chains anyways. The only time that could really be an issue is when you're empty, and you should be already aware of the perils of rolling empty, DRIVER.The far bigger menace is the automatic transmissions becoming industry standard. Not that I really give a shit anymore, this job is for losers.
>>27026429Yeah I’m fucking Persian. U found me out. >>27026450What w-2 is for winners?
>>27026626It’s a low class job. Immigrants and guys fresh out of prison do it to get on their feet. The money is whatever, you can make more doing other things. And I derived no gratification from being an enabler to the American consumer economy.You do you do. I see white trash who would never get a seat at the table no matter how much money you have. If you are content so be it, not for me though. Leave that job to the Somali’s and felons.Stay safe out there, driver.
>>27026421Notruck here, why is the frame on your tractor so long? What are the advantages?
>>27026881It’s like a top hat. It’s a flex. It means I’m better than the average driver. They are only like that custom ordered or custom made.>>27026716I don’t know what ur even talking about. I own land and I have 3 sons.
>>27027000Cute pig, would pinch to make it squeal.
>>27027000>I have 3 sonsOf different colors from your coalburner wife.
>>27027032HE HAS ACHIEVED AN OBESE WHITE WIFE AND HAS SIX FIGURES IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT SIRS YOU ARE BENEATH HIM APOLOGIZE YOU DIRTY INFIDEL
>>27024330Should I get a T680 or 579 as my first truck as an owner/operator?
>>27027035Ya he really should apologize.
>>27027084She mixing cottage cheese with that burnt tomahawk or what ?
>>27027252Looks like herb butter on top to me
>>27027252>>27027259That's cellulite.
Kitchen hasn't been updated since Reagan was in office. Nice 137k in the bank dipshit
>>27027084Based on the veins in the booba those seem like bolt ons, not alle naturale. I'm just giving you shit, she seems cute. I'd let her ride my face.
ever delivered Cantaloupes ?
>>27027084wash your fucking dishes
>>27028329What's wrong with his dishes? Those are juices from the steak on the plate. Are you the same sperglord flipping your lid over people's carpets too?
>>27028266Why have I never seen these twin tires if they are so good? You would think they would be popular here in a rainy and wealthy area
>>27028733Look at the sink retard
>>27026626Holy shit you look like a basedboy
>>27028774Over the dishes dirtied in the same meal? Why do you care you light in the loafers faggot?
>>27026245>>27026626You're the kind of driver that comes in and says "ya my engine was knowing so I pulled over once I was done with my route" and piston one and five have launched themselves into the stratosphere. Drivers don't know shit, go back to being white trash and let your daddy deal with the mechanics.
>>27029133>light in the loafers Lmao I literally had to look that up, thanks for the laugh boomer faggot
>>27029209Yeah I wouldn't expect a metro mutt faggot to have a vocabulary as expansive as his asshole. Keep seething over carpets and dishes poofta.
>>27026716Why should anyone give a shit about "sitting at the table" with a bunch of faggots like you?
>>27029144Thank you I love hearing from midwits like u when I’m a 9 year 1.3m owner operator. >>27028913Thank you and remember if I call you brother just know that you have earned my respect Rip Chris Kyle the devil of ramadi >>27028329I will not >>27027252It’s a butter mix >>27027032All white
>>27026716>You do you do.Stopped reading there. I doubt that there is a more insufferable phrase to come out of the last 20 years of nigger culture.
>>27029228>pooftaKek I had to look this one up tooKeep em coming
>>27030092Finna bouta do a dab y'all'st'd've
