driving dually with a flat?

My experience.

I drove from Memphis, TN to Yellowstone National Park, a distance of over 3,000 miles. When I got home I had an absolutely flat tire on an inside dually.

I think I know when I picked up the nail in that tire. I visited my sister in Calhan, CO. My GPSr took me to a privately owned barn on a farm. I think I picked up the nail turning around to come back out. If so, that means my tire started leaking air about 1,000 miles from home. How long it took to leak down, I don't know, but it was a 2 day drive from there home, so I drove 2 days on a flat, at most.

I had the tire patched, and drove on both it and the original dually mate for another 2 years. After that time, the tires were 7 years old, so I replaced all 7 tires (I also replaced the spare).

I know, I should have been checking my tire pressure every day, but didn't. I checked it at home before leaving, and at Yellowstone before starting back.

I now have a TPMS system.

Same with me, i ran over something coming back from the UP.
i stopped and checked but did not see or hear anything. We drove for another 6 hours home with a flat inner tire. (never noticed)
As the tire was almost new i just replaced the inner, it's been fine for several years.
You do not need a huge breaker bar for the lug nuts they are only at 150lbs, the issue will be getting the rim off the hub.
