Just so brutally expensive if they go. If one tire of a dual is flat, you can continue to a shop. Not so with single.
This would be my biggest concern with super singles. I had this discussion a couple years ago with our tire dealer & it was his concern as well. I blew a tire last year on one of our hopperbottom s last year about 15 miles from home coming back from the processor one evening. I was able to slow down & limp back home where we had a spare. If it would have been a super single I would have been sitting on the side of the road, son would have had to shut the combine down & bring a tire to get me going again.,The way it was he was able to continue running & fill the other trucks & we changed the tire that evening in our shop instead of along the interstate in the dark.
The other issue is traction in the field. Neighbor has a semi tractor on super singles, he says it doesn't pull a load out of the field as well as the previous tractor he had with tandems. Same traile on s.s.
