various weight laws, spread or "split" tandems can legally carry more pounds per axle than close-spaced tandems. The distance between the two axles can vary if the vehicle runs within a certain state whose weight law addresses axle spacings. Not really sure about the single wider tires(I`m new to this), But my guess is that rubbing duallies from low pressure get hot and start fires. Some loads can exceed 40,000 pounds, thats a lot of weight. Singles would eliminate that. Spreading the axles evens out weight dist.

Nice!

I have my CDL-A permit, but have had to keep pushing off my road test due to injuries that keep occurring to my left arm. I need a CDL to drive our 2500HD with 25k# gooseneck.
