I hate to tell you, but the other guy is right. Let's get back to basics here. The more weight in a given area, the greater the traction, hence the reason for wheel weights. If you increase the tire foot print (single tire vs dual tire) w/o increasing the weight, traction decreases. The reason to goto dual tires is to carry more weight, thus increasing GVW (gross vehicle weight). As traction decrease, so does vehicle stability. It's all basic physics.
