I did look into them before deciding to upgrade with 19.5 conventionals. I remember that the costs were much greater than the route that I went. I think the true issue was that if I shredded a tire in bum truck egypt, a replacement would take awhile to get to me.

the only super singles that I've seen that looked goi were at least a 42" tall tire with an 6/3" lift.
But by the way the tread looked, I'm sure they were way exp as they were pretty darn worn. But then again I bet he was lucky to get 10mpg going down hill.

Im not sure you would recoup the extra cost of the tire/wheel combo on a pickup truck.
