Vista 26HE Spare Tire Missing?

[stevenplongo]

Sorry in advance if this is covered somewhere but I cant find it if it is , How does the group feel about carrying a replacement tire ? No wheel just a tire . I feel that if we got a flat and had a replacement on board there are services that can do roadside dismount/mount to get us back on the road . I did take the Good Sam protection including tire service but what if they cant find a tire ?

I have been carrying an unmounted spare in my toad for the motorhome for 7 years now. My primary concern has been that I didn't want to get stranded somewhere remote where I could not get access immediately to a properly sized spare. There have been shortages in the past of the tire size I use, so I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. I also didn't want to get caught having to pay an exorbitant price on short notice for a tire from a supplier who was the only game in town.

I have heard that sometimes roadside service balks at replacing a tire if you do not use their supplied tire if they have one available, but I have not experienced that dilemma
