Has anyone tried replacing dual drive tires with super singles?

Hi,
Safety should considered before a little fuel and a small percentage $
saving.
On the commercial rigs that use these, the economics play a bigger
role. Safety is less of an issue as these rigs are not overweight and
enforced maximums of 20,000 lbs per axle. Also a professional driver
is checking tire pressure daily, unlike most or all RV owners.
If a super single had rapid failure in the drive position, the
results would more likely be serious compared to a pro driver in a rig
that would not be damaged by disintegrating tire.
The dual gives a large safety margin.
Also the max load is 22,000 per axle at maximum pressure. With side to
side variance in RV's ,the pressure would nead to be max. No safety
margin.
Definitely a poor choice IMO.
