Why does the rear axles of a truck have twin tire configurations?

Not all of them do--there are "super single" tires available, which are twice as wide as regular truck tires--but dual wheels do two things for you. First, they hold more weight than singles, and that's always good. Also, if you blow a tire on a dual assembly, the one that's left will allow you to "limp" the truck to a repair shop instead of having to make an expensive call to a truck stop so they can install a new tire alongside the road.
