^First, you talked trucks in general no OPs truck specifically.
Even still, sure it would be overloaded. Prolly was carrying 4000lbs all on its lonesome over there!!
Poor lil tire........pffft who cares.
Second, I qualified my statement to some of the reasons it may need changed, so yer generalizing again for the benefit of argument, lol.
Last, woukd you really do what you just said?
Dually, decent tires, lets say half tread or better, got 2 tons in the bed. Pop a tire, pull over 1-10 miles later, however far. Telling me you're going to put the spare on and drive straight to the next tire store and buy 2 tires?
1 to replace the one that committed suicide and another to replace the one that got its feeling hurt?
Like I said, must be a tire salesman.
Having it checked out is cool though. Not as drastic as buying a new one just because.
Cheers man!
Wasn't talking 'trucks in general' as I was addressing OPs blown tire on his dually
No not a tire salesman
Just one who understands how quickly an overloaded tire can be damaged
And having tire inspected inside is prudent IF one chooses NOT to replace that overloaded tire
Course only OP has a clue (possibly) as to how long it was run by itself (other tire flat), at what speed it was run, temp of tire, age of tire etc.
All factors that only OP can really have info on.
My advise was based on OP having a flat on dually and the consequences of running flat with 5rv pin weight of 3500#
So I stand behind my evaluation and advise to OP
I wasn't advising YOU on anything.
