Message: [QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 1058785, member: 25"] Not if you force them to touch HARD. Scott Morris was running large tires without spacers on the back of his dually and he had to have them nearly flat to install them and then pumped them both up to max rating so they were hard and no motion between the side walls and has been fine for a long time. The issue gets to be if they get to moving and rubbing as you are going down the road and that generates heat and kills them in a hurry. As for the OP - although I still don't clearly understand a damn thing he has typed out - I will say that ALL the tires need to be IDENTICAL across the back of the truck in a dually configuration. Different rim size does effect the outside diameter of the tire. As a proof I just went and grabbed a quick little snippet for a set of BFG A/T tires in 35" flavor - one with a 15" rim and one with a 16.5" rim - there is a 0.1" difference in tire height between the two tires and that equates to a 1/2" circumferential difference. Is that enough to cause issues? Maybe not - but they will wear funny until they reach a happy point. [ATTACH=full]140948[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
