For those who complain about how much their tires cost. Don't think TR will be testing these on one of their 330 mules anytime soon.

Remember, they are the only thing between your vehicle and the road and modulate all forces you require when in motion. Skimp here at your own peril.

And they are a ***** to change.

Blew out both my knees changing truck tires...

Less tire/wheel individual weights in place of dual wheels/tires, while maintaining GVW, equals greater capacity for actual hauled load size and weight.

More load per trip = less trips = less drive time = less man-hours to pay, less fuel, etc... which all equals more money in the pockets of the trucking company owner.

Cheaters.

Yes, but probably only 1% or so. And the He would leak faster.
