Best Answer

One purpose of dual rear tires is to distribute very heavy loads over a larger area. Though tires can often handle the load, they will often sink in on soft ground.

Another major advantage is that if one tire has a blowout (suddenly loses its air), the other tire will take the load and the driver won't have trouble controlling the vehicle, sometimes even able to continue driving to a service shop.

The main purpose for Dual rear tires is for 2 basic reasons. 1. When towing a heavy load, it lessens the chance of over stressing the rear tires (In extreme cases, the blowout of the rear tires) 2. It provides more traction in all situations (by having more rubber on the road, the torque put out by the engine is displaced in more surface area than single rear tires) I'm sure a true expert can put it into better words, but there's a basic answer.
