Maybe it's odd for some of you to see them all the way around including steers but it isn't when you live within such close proximity to the state of MI. **** anymore you're almost seeing more supers utilized than standard duals!......lots of tankers and grain haulers in this area run them because of the weight savings...and with commodities like that every little bit counts! Worked for a fleet a few years back when super singles were just becoming the trend and discovered using some pallet scales at the warehouse out back that average weight savings on a tandem axle config is around 600 lb. when switching from steel duals to super singles mounted on an aluminum rim!
