Thanks for the responses. My tag is liftable so that's a non issue. I wasn't thinking about removing the RIM, only the tire. To do that, I'd only need a couple of pry bars. No reason to remove the rim. The only real issue on my coach is I don't have jacks so the front wheels would be a no go. With the drive axle I could drive up on a ramp with the good wheel to allow the bad one to be free. Inside dual would be a problem. Main thing I was thinking was if someone had a flat in the middle of no where, could roadside assistance use one of the tag tires as a spare, assuming nothing else was available. Sounds like it's doable with some caveats. Thanks again. I'll do some more thinking...:E :B....Dennis
