Gene,

Not doubting your word, but...wouldn't that mean that your spare tire is
potentially ready to come apart at any second? There is no hub holding
anything together on it.

John,

The good tire has 85+PSI in it. It could (and I have seen it happen) blow
off
when you remove the tire assy from the hub. Two things are holding it on,
the
lip on the rim and the rim spacer between the two tires. On the front wheel
the hub has a lip on the inside.
It might not come right off as soon as you remove the wheel from the hub,
but
if that baby comes off, you will be cleaning out your underpants!
