Do you think that truckers throw away a set of tires just because one dual went flat? Of course not.
Company I retired from always pulled both off. Replaced both of them. Inspected the one that still held air, and if it passed it only went on a trailer, but not on the tractor. And our tire guy was actually trained by Goodyear in what he was doing. And if one of Goodyear's tires blew out and there was body damage, Goodyear paid for it. Oh, the tires were always circumference measured and mated before mounted on the rig. They would not mount a mis-mated duals!!! Oh, they are still in business, and have been hauling petroleum since 1925. So I guess they know what they are doing.
