If you have regular tires you only need 1 spare for the whole truck. If you have regular tires on the truck and super singles on the trailer(or vice versa) you would need 1 spare for each type tire.
Chain count to carry on the truck?

Looks like I’m avoiding Washington November 1st through April 1st. Have to chain the front and rear axles plus two on the trailer. I’ve never had to chain up more than the rear drives. If it gets that bad I’ll sit.
Here’s all the laws

Looks like the only state requiring spares is Cali. They want 8 chains.
Also looks like clamping down and making trucks chain 4 tires in most of what i read so far for the western states. Except for Oregon. And 3 railers are required now. For Cali.
From what I've read so far. Thanks @Gumper -
3 rail chains are only required if you have one drive axle.
