The reason for duals over one wide one is that when a tire is aired down for pulling the outer 2" does most of the digging. You go from 8" to 16" of digging area. That is what I was told by a good puller here in PA. Correct me if I am wrong.:D:D

1 single wide tires Helps you plant your rear end sooner. Witch helps you increase your ground speed.

I hate to tell you, but theres a reasons most 3.0 and 2.8 trucks run duals. I could see where wider might be better down there on the sandy tracks, but not in the midwest.

ahh in some cases duals helps some they don't... When its a hard bitting track... most boys will be sitting about 10 after the start with broken parts... Plenty of Cummins doing it this year especially leaving the line at 5200 rpm plus... Its the whole thing of finding your perfect setup... you will alway find weaknesses.. thats where things start getting expensive...
