No arguments and only going with what I've read about the issue. One point that was constant and one with which I must agree based on years of experience with large tactical vehicles, is that if there is a failure with one tire in a dually setup the other tire can support the weight for a small distance. That is not the case with a super single.

Now if you want to talk about a tire upgrade, one that I believe would be better money spent, is a run flat for the steering axle tires. Keep the duals and add run flats to the steering axle and we may stop seeing coaches on their sides because of a blow out.

I know Rodgard makes run flat inserts for wheels up to 22.5 inches but they are primarily for emergency and military vehicles and may be priced outside the budget of RV owners. Also, I'm not sure if they make them wide enough to go inside a super single. I may give them a car in the near future. If not outrageously priced this might be a good winter project.
