transit 190 single wheel or double?

[dazrecoverymad]

ive seen a transit tipper with a maximum vehicle weight of 3500 kg /this is the same as mine although mine is a twin rear wheeler /what is the point of 4x wheels at the back if you can get a single wheeler as the single wheeler will cary more due to increased payload?confused /also is it a bad idea to fit only one wheel to each side of the rear axle ?is this possible?

[MinorMatt]

in a word stability

You could fit a single wheel to each side of your axle, but I suspect you will go through wheel bearings rapidly because the load will be off center

[dazrecoverymad]

i guess so with the wheel bearings ?would it be illegal?

[MinorMatt]

I dont know - but I would guess if the load rating on the tyres are high enough you should be ok

The SRW and DRW are the same van but with different axles

Only difference is the DRW is a Heavy duty version,
