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 ...

Keep in mind, you will have to do some explaining and they will still probably get it wrong.
Had dead batteries at the airport with the old 7.3 Diesel. Explicitly made clear it was a big diesel.
They sent a guy out in a minivan with a jump pack that didn't even pretend to get the motor to turn over.
Then they sent out a guy with a regular wrecker but he only had a short set of jumpers (the truck was nose in to the parking spot).
Finally paid him to run me over to walmart to just pick up a new set of batteries and I installed them myself.
I would expect similar theatrics if you are asking him to put a tire on a rim for a standard van.
Better to just buy a proper spare tire mount.
