Drive on flat outside dually tire to repair shop?
I have a flat outside dually tire, passenger side. Broken valve stem, no air. Should I drive 2.2 miles to repair shop or do I need a better idea?

- Is this an empty pick-up or a loaded MH?
I would try it if your not loaded that heavy. If you've, for instance, got a dually truck with a triple slide TC in the bed you stand a good chance of blowing the other tire on the way. But, just be aware of that and go slow. - Wouldn't do it - dually's are there to handle the weight. You will compromise the tire driving on it; to much weight on the single tire.
- By the time you feel the tire might come off the rim or tear apart, its off or torn IMO.
- I might try it ab about 5 mph, and if it feels like the tire is going to get off the rim or tear apart, stop.
- I would not hesitate to drive 2.2 miles
- ...and no, I do not have a spare.
