We have those super singles where I work, and everyone hates them. They don't get good traction in.... rain, snow, mud, or sand. And they have been wearing out pretty quick too.

My boss said that the company is not ordering any more trucks with them on. Just wanted to share this with you's.

I believe the super singles are 1 1/2 times the width of a standard single tire. I am not sure if it would fit. I am guessing that it would.

you can change a super single on the side of the road, some guys bitch about it but theres not a whole lot more effort involved, they`ll also fit in the trailer carrier, I have em on my trailer.

Why are they forbidden in central Canada? Poor snow performance?

You are right about that, I have been researching them and talking to people about them, 4% difference in fuel economy from what I have heard, I am ordering my next truck with them.
