I am getting bids on switching over to duals..... Thinking recaps also, always had good luck with caps.

I had these on my last tractor shortly before I crawled out of it. Needless to say, I did not want to put super singles on this ride. I had the MD400 open shoulder Michelins and every time I bobtailed, I lost traction, even on dry pavement! Rain was rediculous. Ride was nice, but traction was terrible. I guess they do have lower rolling resistance.... they don't even remotely grab any ground or pavement to do anything productive.

They are probably a good thing for the typical fleet truck that doesn't do anything exciting. I primarily run the upper tier of the country and live 10 miles out of a small town in Iowa on gravel road. Will never put those POS tires on a truck of mine again. This time I settled for Bridgestone M720's. They have a low rolling resistance and they have done a great job this winter.
