An 18 wheeler with only 10 wheels. Instead of the usual sets of duallies, it just had SUPER WIDE versions of the regular tires. It took me a fair amount of time to figure out what looked weird to me. They had a hell of a contact patch, though. Maybe I should pick up a set for the Murdersofa?

Yup, I've been seeing more of this recently. Contact patch is a definite plus, but I wonder if they'll switch back to dualies as we get into bad weather in the coming months. I imagine the super-wide rubber doesn't handle rain and snow very well.

I dunno, it looked like it had some pretty damn aggressive channeling on it.

Those are called super singles. I haven't seen them yet, but I've heard truckers talking about them.

that style of tire also saves a ton of fuel. http://www.michelintruck.com/tires-and-retr…
