Depends on what size tires you have. 235 yes. 205 LRD like mine I can remove without opening. Do not need the skirt to keep mud out either.

Just realized if I have a flat may be able to get the 205 off but might not get the 215 spare on. Now I'll have to check.

Brings up another thought: maybe a smaller high pressure (LRD 65 psi) tire has less lateral compliance and is more resistant to sway. Know in a street car handling improves if the rim is wider than the tread width and I have a 5.4" tread on a 6" rim. Also know that sway in a trailer is more likely if the pressure is low.

Toss in that adding a lift kit also raises the CG which increases lateral torque and reinforces my decision to go to a ST205x75R15 LRD (4300lb load rating for pair) and not install the lift kit.
