tall skinny dually tire
anyone ever ran this tire?
http://www.michelintruck.com/micheli...A#j-7_50R17LRD
its a 33.5x8.2 radial. rated at 2600 lbs at 75 psi on dual applications. It will give a 5% reduction in rpm.
Max speed of 75 just like every other steel cased commercial tire (such as the reliable XPS Rib).
MY crappy generals will be gone in another 10-15000 miles and i plan to try these out.

Tall skinny dually tire
I've been running Firestone's since the original set wore out and have been getting great mileage. They're highway treads. So far I have approx. 65,000 miles on them. I pull a 14,000 lb. Fiver several times a year covering approx. 6 to 10K per trip. Cheaper than Goodyear. and they're E rated.

you cant run them safely without a spacer if you actually haul with your truck...not to mention the excess width will increase drag and throw crap all over the side of your truck
