I always thought the same thing, you lose that "grace period" the second tire gives. Doesn't seem as safe. Also, wide tires tend to get steered by the road surface. And one other thing, them puppies can't be too cheap as well as wheels. It's not like used wheels would be nearly as plentiful either. Every road tire service outfit can't always have those readily available like the good ole duals. I was just noticing this one had them way back then for the first time fter seeing that picture a lot. I have it saved, too. That was aa long time before you saw them being run and even before radials
