Gman69 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 Since my 2012 Thor Daybreak doesn't have a spare tire, I was worried about getting a tire in my size (19.5) in the event I should have a flat in some of the remote locations in the west. Understand that there is probably lots of places that the road side assistance could call/contract to come out and change the tire, but I was concerned about them having a replacement tire in stock. Thus, I carry a new, unmounted tire in one of my storage compartments. Has anyone else done so, and what have you had to pay to have them dismount and mount the tire? Understand that the road side assistance would cover changing the tire (off and on the MH) but actually mounting the new tire on the rim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tireman9 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 While I haven't used roadside assistance my self, changing a "truck tire" on the side of the road should be a relatively easy task for a properly trained service person. Your plan to carry your own un-mounted spare is a good one. While you already have your tire others may want to consider getting a used tire to carry around. Less expensive, a little lighter and you won't be aging a "new" tire. You really only need the spare to get you home so you can review your tire situation and shop for a good deal.

hermanmullins Report post Posted November 4, 2017 If you don't mind, what are the age of your current tires? That would be my first concern. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gman69 Report post Posted November 5, 2017 my unmounted spare is a new tire that I purchased a couple of years ago. my question is what I would expect to pay to have it mounted, it I used a RSA to change the tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted November 5, 2017 Probably 20/25 bucks but there will be a service charge too and that is anyone's guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I note they are including the proper "Patch' type repair that requires dismount and mount. If "roadside" service would tell you they "plug" tires you might point out that by doing that un-approved method they are accepting responsibility for any subsequent failure or loss of warranty from the tire Mfg for the use of "improper" repair. Those that have attended my seminars know why plugs are not considered a proper repair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
