It's an expensive way to barely increase one performance parameter while being detrimental to others, IMO. But I would start by searching commercial operators: Hotshot, LTL, etc, for other than anecdotal on 8,000-lb pickup trucks under 24,000-lb trailers one direction, and deadheading others. Kind of like a GV O-D. I don't recall having "seen" a benefit in my reading in those forums on this, and long ago shelved the idea. Maybe something newer has come along. A place to start is a large-area search on a contributor to many forums -- RV & commercial -- JIMNLIN, as he made a living going back 30-years with pickup trucks in service. Also owns a Dodge. A good source of what works well for tires on these trucks.
