In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of dual wheels, or "dualies," and why they’re essential for trucks on the road. Here are the top 5 discussion points: 1. **Weight Distribution and Efficiency**: How dual wheels distribute the load and improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. 2. **Safety Benefits**: Learn how dual tires act as a safety net, providing stability even during a blowout. 3. **Tire Pressure and Construction**: Discover the engineering behind those seemingly "skinny" tires that can support up to 4,000 pounds. 4. **Hydroplaning and Tread Design**: We discuss the role of tread patterns in preventing hydroplaning, even with wider tires. 5. **Super Singles vs. Dualies**: We explore the pros and cons of super single tires compared to dual wheels, including their fuel efficiency and safety trade-offs.
