With Motorhomes, VERY FEW rv'ers have the tools and the Strength to replace a bad tire. Too HEAVY and too hard to break the Lug Nuts loose. SAME reason you do NOT purchase a Tire AND Wheel and put in your storage. What you do, is purchase a SPARE RUBBER tire and install in the storage. It is a LOT easier and lighter to get in and out. Since you will be having to use Road Side service, THEY will remove the bad Tire/wheel and then can MOUNT your spare rubber on the wheel and get you going.

Once it is done then purchase another Rubber Tire at your earliest convienance. Doug
