Will spare work for dually? July 18, 2016, 12:50:25 am 1989 22' Multiplan with Chevy chassis. Had a delamination of driver's side inner tire. Thankfully, I was 7 miles from home on a 300 mile trip.This is my learning lesson that tires "looking good" with no cracking or checking doesn't mean a damn. I will be replacing tires as scheduled in the future.Anyways, I have 1 blown tire. My LD has 1 spare tire. Can I use the spare to A) replace the dually to get 20 miles to a tire shop or B) separate the dually hub and replace the blown side with the spare?I'm not really sure how the spare is supposed to work, or even if it works at all with a rear tire.

Yes, since the outside diameter of the narrower spare is the same. Have it replaced too, though.Steve

No, with our '83 Chevy, I needed to first raise and block the chassis, then raise the rear axle enough for the tires to clear. You'll never raise the chassis enough by itself to clear the tires, and if you just do the axle, the tires won't clear the fender.Steve
