You guys who say it is just one tire need to look again. There is no way there is a truck or trailer tire that is that big. It has to be 2 tires. They are even on different planes in the picture. Let's ask the OP if he sees 2 tires under there. I bet he does.....


My money's on two spares too.


Before I read any further I'll say two also. Way to big for a pickup tire!

Better read my above quote Don. He already looked, there is only one tire.

Man I could come up with some choice phrases for those who have been, maybe still, disputing your word, with nothing to go on but your picture. BUT these forums are one place our "Freedom of Speach" gets overriden by a few "moderators".
Actually I think the "Angle of the Dangle" condition/distortion is responsible for a close up of the OTHER air bag is what is seen. I know, I know one could say "See the tread edges". but consider the mold lines in the closer air bag! If those guys can't take your word, then they won't understand this either.
I can realize my self that since the stuff is under there it will bennifit the ride even tho it is not used for what it was installed for. SO Hitch Up N Take Off! There is So Many Places, So Little Time!!

"A picture is worth a thousand words" If this keeps going, this picture will cause a thousand words. That is sure a deceiving picture.

RE_ 1 or 2 tires?
Its a natural occuring optical illusion that fools most peoples eyes!!
AT what would be the forward edge of the single tire we are only seeing the bottom portion of it--
and at the rear edge of the SINGLE tire the bottom portion is hidded behind the square tubing of the air ride / hitch brackets so we only see the top/upper part.
This fools the eye/brain into thinking we are seeing TWO seperate tires on 2 slightly different planes--.
Its a picture that could be entered into a guessing type contest??

I didn't go to university BUT I dreamed I stayed at a Holiday Inn last nite
