dualy wheels

Does anyone have dualy or seen them in action. I ran across this website Dual Concepts - Dual ATV Wheels and Tires I think they look too cool for school.

i seem them in action on a 2wd rancher he had 4 589s. did better than you think but he sure had to get used to the floatation in the rear.

he liked them but he finally took them off due to the stress that they put on the bearins and axle and hub.

I think for certain things they help, however try to go down some tight trails and they are useless. The added tire cost alone is enough to make me not want them.

I have a smallmouth stream that has some great fishing. But wading and swimimg is the only way to get from hole to hole. Water depth is from 6in to over 6ft I was thinking I could Float down stream stoping at the good spots until I got to the next road cut. I have also been looking at those floating 6x6's but they are really high.

the 6x6's are really rough riding too, I wasn't impressed with one my friend bought it cost him 10,000 new with all the stuff and he can't sell it close to what he has in it.

your still gonna be top heavy so instead of a cool lookin four wheeler floating in 6 foot of water you'll just see the bottoms of eight tires just above the surface of the water!
