^Precisely! I did a lot of carefully calculated(weight-load math) running "singled out' during hot summers through Arizona and Texas; Road temps on asphalt are horrific (120+). It actually raised the tire temperature worse to stop the rig at the pumps. One set of newer tires temp-spiked: blew out, through the treads! in front of me-two star fractures-right in the treads and steel belts-not the side walls...we chose to wait the heat-wave out to run in the cooler evening that day. On I-10, occasionally, we would run on the shoulder which was cooler concrete than the asphalt. The road way was littered with blow-out tread debris. No singles for me! I like tire 'redundancy' in case I have to move 'em around some...just to reach safe haven!
