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 don't know about "most", but the towing companies around me all seem to have tire mounting equipment back at their shop. I have not heard or seen them actually mounting a tire on a wheel / rim on the side of a road for smaller vehicles.
"big rig" towing and service companies can usually mount a tire on a wheel, and then mount it on a trailer or truck, out in the field.
Bringing a spare tire, not mounted on a rim, is an idea, but... it really is easier to carry a spare on its own rim.
When you say weight issues, is that because your camper is over weight, or you have trouble moving / carrying a mounted spare yourself? I know as I have gotten more "seasoned" in age I have learned to use crowbars and blocks of wood to help lift spare tires onto a vehicle.
