Most European trailors are 2- or 3-axle, all have single tires (never seen doubles). Often, in newer models, the first of the three axles can be raised when there isn't much load, reducing RR. Also, European tractors usually have only one rear axle, with double tires. Sometimes there is a single-tire drop axle preceeding the main axle, but this isn't very popular.
