has anybody tried super single wheels instead of dual on your pump. just wondering, and if so what our pros and cons.i would think they would stay up better in soft ground or sand than duals would

Hhehe well nutons law really. singles are way less stable. Proven by firms in California on mixers, they just  seem to roll allot. No we have never entertained the thought. Danger don't bother.

weput a set on one of our 39m a few years back. that pump would get stuck every where, gravel roads with a slight incline. dont bother wasting your time and money on it

I drove a 36M with super singles before. They are spongy and pump moves all over the road. Kind of like driving a big pump with rear steer. You better pay attention if you decide to do it. Just remember that if you get a flat, you are dead in the water. No driving a couple miles at a slow pace to make it to the job or even to the side of the road.

if what your implying of using one tyre on a drive axle instead of two...NO, not possible as super single has around 3750kg max load mass compared to 2 x 315/80 22.5 = 6500kg. Your truck is to heavy on the drive axle for one tyre on each axle side.

On a side note, if you want a serious tyre those 13R 22.5 are about as heavy duty as they get on a heavy mass truck.

In Sweden is it only the semitrailers and their pullingtrucks wich use the supersingle-tire. But i agree your piont in your post.
