Tire off rim- cannot get it seated

[Pete Masterson]

Mobile commercial tire service trucks are equipped to handle the
problem. I had an inside dual tire go flat (and unseated) while my
coach was parked in front of my home (bad schrader valve and/or valve
stem extension). I had a service call by a mobile tire service truck
and it had a humongous compressor on board, air-lift jacks, and all
the tools necessary to service any sort of tire problem. They were
able to fix the tire and replace the valve stem. Cost was $100 -- not
bad for the area where I live.
