Can Tow providers mount new tire to wheel ?
Just wondering: We have a 24 foot diesel class C with somewhat difficult to find tires = Hankook DynaPro RH12 195/75R16C . I am considering carrying a spare tire only ( no wheel ) due to weight ...

I've seen the big truck tow trucks replace a wheel, not sure if the smaller operators will, not sure what size truck you need for your 24 ft, I'm assuming it's a Sprinter based RV.
But that wheel must weigh only 25 - 30 lbs (probably less than the tire), do you really need to save that much weight? That's only a few gallons of water.
For the record, I want to occasionally carry the spare tire without wheel , fastened to my ladder and I don't want to put more than 30 pounds weight (tire weight) on the ladder.
BTW, RV is a Winnebago Fuse on a Ford Transit chassis.
