Why are my dually tires touching?

Why are my dually tires touching?

Tire maintenance is an important factor in tire and driving safety, and this is especially true with dual wheel vehicles. When dual tires are under a load, they deflect outward. If they deflect too much, either due to underinflation and/or overloading, the tires can touch sidewalls and lead to serious tire damage.

Can you put non dually wheels on a dually?

Registered. linden940 said: The wheel setup for non-dual to dually is very different and the front wheels of a dually are the same as the rear.
