X One Michelin
I saw an 18 wheeler on the highway running these Michelin X One's. These things are double wide, to replace dual tires with one, they look really cool. I was wondering if anyone had fit these to a Ford Dually. I would love to see a pic and get some details on the conversion. I think it would look awesome. show your pics!!!.
On a different note, when I posted this thread it came up with an ad for Chevy in my post's window. does anyone else see this? and how the hell does that happen on a site for Ford Truck Enthusiasts?

I've seen the tires you're talking about on some trucks when I worked a job as a security guard. I talked to the driver about them and he said they were for weight savings compared to a regular dual wheel setup. The weight reduction was intended to help in fuel mileage.
I can't fully recall all the specs but I seem to remember that they were 445/something/22.5, I just can't recall the aspect ratio although it may have been something like a 65. I thought they would look good on an SUV or full size pickup.

And if you get a blowout, its easier to change, unless its an outside tire on a standard setup.

I work at a Michelin plant that makes the X-one. These tires have not been certified in Canada and some States for use on trucks yet. I don't think there are adapter kits for anything smaller than a tractor trailer setup. Also at the present time Michelin dealers have the only equipment capable of servicing this tire/wheel setup.

Hey Whit350, those tires are referred to as super singles and the industry made big waves when they came out years ago but you don't see them on a lot of rigs. I think the cost of them has a lot to do with it.
