Does anybody know if they can lift the tag axle and limp 10 miles?

I am assuming my post was removed because i was not interested in discussing our tire's date codes as we sit on the side of the road in NM... sorry for the frustration but thought reaching out to this amazing group was going to be rewarding....

It appears our own search's, AAA and Progressives's road service and Good Sam's Road services have found NO results for locating a 19.2 truck tire in Santa Fe NM on a holiday...

Thanks..  we will update you all as we find more results on tuesday.  Till than we are boondocking on I-25 near exit 278 soubound

Exactly what size tire do you need? With the full tire number/specs, we can help.

Never heard of a 19.6" or 19.2" tires. 19.5, sure.

Sorry, can't answer the "drive without that tire" question-- never worked on that type chassis.

19.5 tire, I used "lowboy" tires on that chassis years ago. My records show that we used the 19.5 commercial truck trailer tires so a truck operation may be a place to call.
Good luck and stay safe.

Full markings on tire are 8R19.5.... Power King... the spare WAS a Michelin with date code of 2013.  Light Duty Truck Tire.. all 8 tires are the same.  Trucker stopped and suggested " chaining" the tag axle UP and limping somewhere... but 8 hours later Progressive Road Side Service truck showed up after driving 100 miles from Trinidad CO..  mounted the spare for us...

2nd tire blew at southbound I-25 exit 10 miles north of Santa Fe...  we took exit and stopped at stop sign.  There was a KOA sign and its located 1/4 mile away.. we limped to outside their gate on edge of the small road...KOA Santa Fe Journey owner has given us a 30amp space for tonight and local tire service company coming tomorrow morning to replace tire...

"Once bitten twice shy" Check all the dates on the tires and replace the old ones when you get to where prices are affordable. You could lose another one as my brother did when he bought a new one on the road.
