Has anyone tried replacing dual drive tires with super singles?
Sam,

I've been running Michelin 31580R22.5's in ALL positions for a year-
22K miles so far- they were a great replacement for the 12R22.5's and
fit the same rim. I started with the steers in Jan. 2008 and liked the
ride so much that as $$ permitted, I got them for the drives in June
2008 and tags in December 2008. They are a load range L tire. Make
sure the duals are at 110 PSI and they do not touch each other. They
also do not rub the fenders. You will be amazed at the ride difference.
