Flats
While on the way to work today I saw 3 vehicles on the side of the road with flats. Which got me thinking, hey, I’ve never owned a Dually, and I’ve never known anyone that has owned a Dually. So my question: If the inside tire goes flat, can I safely continue on for a reasonable distance with the outside tire still working properly? How far? And I would not be towing nor hauling anything. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Thanks in advance everyone!<o></o>

No way jose'!!! The "alligator" of the tire will fly off and bust the fiber glass wheel well. One of my employees had this happen to them. However i dont know if the new superduties still use fiberglass on the rear wheel well.
Hope this helps.

You also have another option - singling out the dual. This would depend on the load and distance you need to go.
