Roadside assistance

[rogerwwebb@...]

Bruce's point about changing an unmounted spare is correct, with Good Sam at
least.

In both cases that I mentioned in the previous note on this subject, they fie
ld mounted the tire to the rim at the side of the road and at a parking lot.
Good Sam also found me a tire the first time, as I carried no spare in
the beginning. I paid nothing extra (other than the tire & giving each guy a
$25 tip) in either case.

In both cases the guys who came to change the tires probably didn't weigh
much more than the unmounted tire by itself. It was amazing how they
accomplished the change with levers and jumping on the tire. One change was
well
worth the cost of Good Sam.

I don't have experience (nor do I want any) with towing, which may be a
whole different ball of wax.
