Over the past decades militaries seem to have been going back and forth between single and dual wheels on the real axles of military logistics trucks.
Does anyone have experience with the advantages/disadvantages between the single and dual rear tires? From what I have read, singles provide more traction in mud/snow/ice if you get stuck, but dual wheels are less likely to get stuck in the first place because the lower ground pressure allows them to float better in soft ground.
Currently military trucks seem to be favoring the singles, which the exception of recovery trucks which have dual rears, probably because they're doing a lot of towing.
