{"text":"I have a friend wanting to sell me his almost new super singles Michelins off his truck that he's now parting out.  The tires are like new.   I have never been a fan of super singles BUT for the low price I am considering it.  Looking for advice from experience operators thanks?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyTo":"","text":"why would he change axles? if the trucks being parted out they should be on wheels. bolt on and go.\n\nI wouldn't run super singles for the same reason blow one and your done not to mention as soon as the wheel hits the ground it's usually garbage too.","replyToPid":0}

610123 发表于 2019-07-26 02:54:17 you don't need new axles to put super singles on however if you go the other way, back to duals on a truck that was ordered with a super singles set up, sometimes those have wider axles that you can't put duals on.

{"replyTo":"","text":"you can just bolt them right on. yes you do save in weight.  But you blow a tire where are you going to be? on the side of the road waiting on road service and paying a bill that's twice as much than if you blew one of you 8 drives and limped it to a shop. oh yea and they dont get good traction so if you do any winter weather driving you may as well park it til the storm is over. personal I wouldnt put them on my truck or my trailer.","replyToPid":0}
