If you're in Florida, best to try Boulevard Tire first. They can dispatch a truck to change your tire. They have multiple locations. Their service guys can change out all the tires on an 18-wheeler. If you need a tire as well, they won't **** you on the cost. Also in Florida, on the intersates call *FHP and they will dispatch a road ranger who can change your tire.
We learned this the hard way.
Road service will generally not cover the tire. They cover the service csll and labor. That said, Boulevard Tire will not work with your road service. They say they have been burned by them too many times, but the cost to swap a tire was $75. That was a few years ago, but I'm sure they are still reasonable. A real "stand up" company. We would have saved $300 and 6 hours if we had called them first.
