problem i have with dually offroad trucks is the rear wheels get big rocks caught between the 2 tires and when they get spinning the rocks become high projectile missiles looking for a head to bash in!
otherwise i would think that one large tire as opposed to 2 small tires would do better! but i dunno

> i think thats why most 6x6concrete mixer trucks run 4 big rears isntead of 8 smaller tires
It is because the single 24.5 tire carries a higher load then the dual 20/22s and has a very thick sidewall, plus, they are much taller.

they do provide more flotation, but get fouled very easy in mud, because they do not self clean very easy. they also are more prone to wheel hop in sand when power is applied. bet wheel hop is still better than digging in till the frame is sitting on the ground.
