As to the spare tire thing, have you ever man handled a 22.5 truck tire, and do you have the heavy duty torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to 500 foot pounds? Many DP owners carry a unmounted tire for a spare, but then you have diameter match up problems. You can't go mis-matching tires on dual wheels!
