Take a look at this thread:

Some of our guys are running them, Schneider has them on almost all of their tractors that pull the tankers.

They do not interest me at all, I wouldn't have anything to do with them.

I drove a company truck(not MTI) that had super single drive's. Nice smooth ride, good fuel mileage, and quiet too.

I don't have super singles on my truck that I bought, but several of the O/O's at Miller have them on their tractors..and love them.

Thanks everyone

they're harder to find, even harder to pay for and an effin pain to get on/off the rim. also, imo, i dont think they provide the same traction or stability for the heavier loads in inclement weather or off-road situations because the weight of the vehicle isn't distributed across the same amount of surface area. also, you have to ask - is this really cost effective? sure, they look cool and you gain a little from the weight savings but what if you lose one on the road? few months ago, friend of mine was on his way out to weatherford at night in a co. truck with singles, picked up some trash in the road and lost a drive tire. couldn't limp the load in on a an aluminum rim, had to wait until 8am for the roadside service to get there, load was late, bill was better part of 1300$.
