Has anyone tried replacing dual drive tires with super singles?

[David Brady]

Bob,

My 315's are $600 a piece. If I could find a super single that could
handle the weight, I'd be happy to buy a wheel for $600.00.

Let's see:

If I stay with four 315's:
Four new tires is $600 times four: $2400

Or I could spend extra initially for the new super single wheels:
Two wheels at $600 for a total of $1200, plus two tires at $600
each for a total of $1200 and a grand total of $2400.

Future tire replacement saves $1200 with the super singles!

I'm sold, where did you find the 13000lb load rated super singles?

I looked into super singles for my drives before I retired in

Washington state.

Found that they could hold 13k each, but the rims, being special, cost

600 bucks. Tires were also 600 bucks. Weight saved was 400 lbs.

Wasn't worth it so didn't.
