Super Singles
Posted by Tim on February 27, 2006
What are the pros and cons to running super single tires how much does it cost to cross over wheel and tire cost, I’m interested in running them on 2 and 5 ton trucks
Thanks for the question but, I need more information to provide answers. Are you replacing dual tires with wide base tires? What type of service (line haul, P&D, mixed service) are you running? What do you expect to accomplish with the use of wide base tires?
1100R20 Tube Type Tires
Posted by Tim on February 27, 2006
I am currently looking for an 1100R20 tube type tire to replace worn out tires on a fire engine. Everywhere we have looked tells me that there is a back order of several months for the tire. Do you have any idea when these tires will be available or do we need to look into changing the wheels to accomadate a radial tubeless type tire. Any information you can supply would be greatly appreciated.
Since a fire truck could be in service for a number of years, I think it would be a great idea to consider converting it to tubeless tires. Tubetype tires are going the way of the horseshoe, typewritter and slide rule. The less the demand, the harder they will be to find. I can not comment on when they may be available, only that tire makers will produce what the market demands most.
