What 1-ton SRW did you have squatting?
If I have 4 of the exact same tires that are on the SRW 1 ton tires sagging a bit with the loads I carry, I'd almost positively blow a rear tire on the interstate before I got very far. They would build up excessive heat and pop. Besides, I've gotten in areas where, believe it or not, some jerks have cut me off and I've had to make extreme evasive moves or extremely hard braking. Having 6 tires leaving marks on the pavement positively gives me more traction than only 4.
I have nothing against SRW 1 ton pickups but they flat out would not do the job for me. Why else would I spend the extra money for the dually setup, more money for tire changes and run with extra weight? It's sort of like a guy using a 1/2 ton who needs a 3/4 or 1 ton; I'd be in that situation with only 2 rear tires. SRW 1 ton pickups fit a nice niche market. I just don't happen to fit in that niche.
