Super single options for F 450 - F550

[Capt Eddie]

I am thinking about going to super singles on a F 450 with a camper. I know some go with 20 inch wheel and use 40 plus inch tires. I need to support 17000 LB and would like to keep the tires at 35 inches. I will want an all terrian tread pattern. What is avallible for my truck?? I do not want to use 19.5s. I want to be able to air down. Thanks for any comments.

Hey, I don't have any experience with these tires, but I was just reading a thread today about a F-650 and he went with a super single on the back. This might give you some insight.

Although you said you didn't want to use 19.5" tires have you read the discussions over on the Mitsubishi heavy truck forum? The aussies are very pleased with the performance of the Toyo m608z in a 285/70/r19.5. These are right in your size range and have plenty of capacity. They claim to be getting great sevice in extreme conditions and are running them a lower air pressures when needed.

Wild1. No I have not read that yet. Can any Aussies confirm or deny the uses of Toyos at low pressures? I really do not mind duallys, I just want to air them down to soften the bumps and drive in sand.
