Anything is possible for short term but personally I wouldn't just because the rating is pretty low.

Re: 215 65 16 tires for 70 dually?
My opinion is just that.... But, 27" tire is pretty short for a dually/HD app. Is that the tallest you can go?
At best, that's likely a passenger car tire so the load range is the issue once the 2 tires in the rear start flexing (which they will). The front's would prob survive a normal life around town. The concern would be extended trips under heat/pressure w/the extra loading. Load range tires for HD apps are about 3K each. At 1500#, that's a big reduction. I wouldn't go less than 30% difference so 2100# @ the minimum. The fronts are not so much the issue. The concern of tire flex in the dual positions under extended heat & loading is what would be on my mind. Also, most reputable shops won't mount a non-load rated tire on a dually/HD wheel application.
