I just noticed that I have a large tear in the sidewall of a rear tire. I hit a curb going into the Food Lion on the way home, must have happened then. Tire did not loose pressure. Anyway, now I have to replace it. I have 245/70 19.5 Michelin XRV tires so I assume I have to match them. Anyone know of a tire installer for RVs in southern Maryland?
Try these Michelin dealers that are within 15 miles of your location....one of them is bound to work on trucks and if not, will probably do it anyway to earn your business, especially since you don't have the monster 22.5 size. They may even recommend someone, if they're not eqipped for the task.

I have done business with most of these tire dealers and do not think they have the experience to work on heavy duty truck tires. Most don't even have the space in the parking lot for my rig. Wal Mart is about the only one that can get the rig in their garage. The local Workhorse repair facility (Bell Motors) may be able to mount the tire. I will give them a call. We also have some garages that work on school buses, I am sure they could handle it. Maybe someone who has experience with the local businesses could help. Thanks for the reply.
I called Chesaldine Tires. They can replace the tire for $475 with mounting. They have to use Equal Beads because they cannot balance the tire, not a problem.
