I realize we have different size tires than you, Ed and Lynda, but any competent mobile tire service should be able to change the tire while your rim is still on the coach. We had our left front tire blow out back in 2008 on I-10 half way between the California border and Mesa, AZ. Our ERS service contacted a mobile tire place in Mesa who brought with them the correct sized tire, jacked up our coach, removed the remnants of the blown tire from the ALCOA rim, then, using large tire levers, levered the new tire on to the rim, inflated it and we were on our way.....took less than 30 minutes start to stop. The ERS paid the travel time (3 hours round trip) and labor....all I paid for was the tire.
