Hi everyone, I joined this forum for my parents who are currently on the road by Albuquerque NM with a flat tire. They have good same roadside assistance but have not found a tow yet. I have not been able to find a mobile tire repair. The only place still open said their tire was an odd size and might be hard to find. The tire is an 8R19.5. Does anyone have some advice on where they can call to get back on the road?Thanks!Ryan

I would call the state police and ask them who they use for a road side break down.505-827-9300 -Tom

Thanks Tom:They did call, and a trooper is there now. But they still have not found a tow truck.

There should be a tire service that operates 24 hours around there. trooper should be able to help. 8R19.5 tires are common.

and a 8R19.5 is not a odd ball tire. And you can change it out to a 225/70/19.5!

Have them take a look at Coach Net. They may want to switch. Coach Net also gives tech info over the phone when asked.

I think it is through Hartford insurance? I believe they will cover the costs of the tow at least. I'm not sure if any other cost is covered.

I guess they did not have good sam RA, and their other RA is not being very helpful. They are getting towed (or having the towing companies spare put on) to get into Moriarty NM.

The state troopers were a big help and even gave them a ride to try and find a tire. They hope to get a tire in the morning.

I'm sure it to little to late but my source for RV Tires in Albuquerque is A/B Tire (Dan Schroeder) 2848 Girard NE. 505-884-0686If there is anymore info you need about help in Albq please PM Me.

They have 2 new tires installed and should be back on the road soon. My dad failed to check the tire dates after they bought the RV used this winter. The fronts were manufactured mid 2003 and the rear tires were manufactured in 2006.

The 2nd front tire had a large bulge and was about to blow also.

Unfortunately the new tires that were just installed were manufactured in mid 2011.

Thanks again for the help!

Sure, that helps PAY for a new tire or tire repair. It doesn't help with getting a tire repair truck to the site of your disablement.

How can you have roadside assistance and not get assistance?

Good deal with the trooper.
