I am certainly not defending Good Sam, but this story is beginning to develop many facets. I have used GS roadside assistance for a tire change on my car. No complaint. I would expect the tire change to be included in roadside assistance if you have a mountable spare...many of us don't. Repairing a tire would be like any other roadside "repair" not required to get you to safety, and would be out of pocket. But who would repair a tire with a steel belt showing?

I just think there are some things missing. I have no doubt the contracted roadside assistance shop padded their profits a bit.
