    Not legal. Possibly get you in trouble flinging rubber all over the road.

    Outside tire? It can come off the rim and injury or worse someone.

    One thing is for sure with Onroad. Call them while you are sending the macro.
    Faster results.

    Sorry... Got tied up there for a few.

    I am in Boonville MO right now, at the Dogwood Truck Stop.

    It is my inside right rear tire that blew, and the mud flap and bracket is pretty well wrapped around the axle.

    I have a 44,200 lb load, for those interested.

    Also, my 14 is up in less than 2 hours.

    I really have no intention of driving it more than the few miles I have already driven. I consider it rather dangerous, and the nearest anything other than here is at least 40 miles away.

    I'll spend the night here and get it fixed in the AM when Tony's Diesel opens.

    44,2 is too heavy to limp it in....and it sounded (don't ask how, but)...like you were actually in KC, MO not that far from the terminal.

    And yes there are occasions where you can "limp one in" with one single tire blown. It is all a matter of "circumstances"!

    And in certain situations it is not against the new "CSA" guidelines to limp a blown single tire in to repair.

    I was in KC this morning to deliver a load, then picked up another this afternoon in Independence MO going to Pontoon Beach IL (the address is actually in Edwardsville IL, though)
