We've blown out most of our tires over the years, before realizing the rest were dry rotted. This is usually on the interstate, and we spend a few hours thankful that we're in an RV with food and entertainment, rather than a car. Road service is a God send, and we gladly pay for it, as well as carry a proper spare.
Otherwise, we've been fortunate to have good mechanics for preventative maintenance at home. Most of those encountered on the road are neither cheap nor quick. I'd head to one of the many Ford dealers first if needed.
This hobby requires some disposable income, patience, and flexibility. And plenty of maintenance.
