Semi-Tractor Back Tire... How Do you Call It? :)

We call them super singles.

This Semi-Tractor was in front of me today at Jimmy Carter Blvd, and this silly question came to my mind (What would be your answer?

That's a wheel, but not a tire.
A fifth wheel!

Got any more questions?

Glad I could help.

On a 1969 Chevelle they were N50s.

Are these retreads also ?

They have been running single tires for years, especially on trailers.

Starting to move away from that in the industry. Hard to justify the fuel savings when the road service cost is astronomical.

Understand and agree. When one tandem goes, you are down.

Must be why they're called semi-trucks now instead of 18 wheelers.
