These Rare 'Twin Tire' Wheels Can Make a Dually of Anything, and They're For Sale

One of history's wackier aftermarket wheel and tire options was the JJD Twin Tire, which literally put two tires on each corner of your car. They didn't stick around long, but they're remembered fondly and are today a rare artifact of the 1980s and '90s. And right now, there's a complete set of them for sale out in Alabama.

As we outlined when we became aware of the JJD Twin Tire, they were conceived as a way to improve wet-weather grip without sacrificing traction in the dry. They worked too, and were also found to reduce tire consumption and allow driving on a flat tire. However, they were also heavier than single-tire setups, left users with minimal tire choice, and proved more laborious to service. Eventually, the company that made them was sold and went under, but Twin Tire wheels still sometimes pop up for sale—like the set on Facebook Marketplace in Baileyton, Alabama.
