Actually it is legal to run capps on steers, but it is not recomended for over-the-road applications.

You better do a recheck on that

You guys should watch this video. Michelin testers wired a blasting cap with C4 plastic explosives to one of those super singles to test rapid air loss/blowouts on a tanker full of water grossing 78,000 pounds

[/hijack] sorry

How do those X1s compare price-wise to a set of duals? 8)

I know when I was in truck school all of my instructors told us emphatically that it was illegal to run re-caps on steers. Get caught and it was a hefty fine.
