Got to dunes edge and my Rv had a flat front tire.  Filled it up and came to Glamis.  Now I need to figure out how to get the tire fixed or repaired.  Should i remove it and take it into town and get it repaired or have it replaced?  What do you say?  
 

Anyone know of mobile rv or big rig tire guy?  Will be here through New Years.  

Thanks,

George 
 

 
Daniels Tire Service in Brawley 7608752551. Been a few years since I was there but said they did roadside tire repair for big rigs at that time.

If you store it at Dunes Edge than why don’t you just plug it? Then you can take it to get repaired when ever your gonna bring it home.

 
I've never had much luck with plugs on tires that have 60 psi or more, but maybe I was doing something wrong. I've had them last for years on car and half-ton pickup tires.

 
Pretty sure a repair on that type of tire means dismounting it; patching it (not a plug) from the inside and re-mounting it.  Tire shop will know if it is legal or safe depending on type of leak, location, age of tire, etc.

Any chance it is the valve stem leaking?

 
there is a guy in glamis dune storage had a few tires there in stock and a tire machine.  i would just call gds and inquire    to add gilmore has some trailer tires also any there is usually someone there doing tires

Called the ones about no answer, I’ll call again after Christmas on Tuesday.

J&J tire in Westmorland said $85 for a repair if it’s repairable.  $275 for a used tire or new ones start at $375, but I gotta take it to them.  
 

Mobile tire guy Oscar I talked too said $180 and he will come to Glamis, if it’s just the valve stem he will replace it and leave the tire on front.  If it has to be plugged then he will rotate it to the back and swap it with one from the back. 
 

Rv and enclosed stay in storage until February.  Might just get it repaired and then once I get it home I can figure out what I’ll do.  
 

Has anyone had a tire plugged repaired on an rv?  Not sure how I feel about putting a plug or patch on it and towing the enclosed home 200 miles.  Tires are 255/70/22.5 

 
I ran my hands all around the tire, I fondled it lol but didn’t feel any nail or anything.  Felt no air coming out of the valve stem either.  Guess I spray some simple green on valve stem and see if it bubbles, but I gotta put some air in it and see what happens.

Plug in that size tire carrying the weight it does is not a good idea. Roadside guys patch semi tires all the time. Good idea to move it to the rear even if you patch it. For $180 I would think you would get a patch. Call Parkhouse Tire and get their opinion. They definitely know their stuff.

 
Yes a plug isn’t ideal. I just figured you could plug it to get It through the season. Then have the tire removed and patched or replaced. No hurry if it’s kept in storage.

 
Got it fixed today.  These guys came out J&P Mobile tire, father and son.  They replaced my valve stem.  It had an extension, and that is what leaked.  I guess he said the o ring goes bad and they leak.  He put a one piece valve stem, no more extension.
