Can a Tow Truck Bring You a Tire?

Tow trucks are capable of bringing far more than just cars. In fact, they can bring you a tire in a pinch if you find yourself stranded on the side of the road with a flat.

Many tow truck companies offer roadside assistance and can come to your location with a spare tire.

When calling for help, make sure to inform the tow truck company of your exact problem. If you have a flat tire, make sure to give them the size and type of tire that is needed for your car. Most tow drivers will have an extensive selection of tires available, though it is always best to be as prepared as possible.

The tow driver will likely arrive with either an inflated spare tire or one that needs air. The driver will usually be able to change the tire for you, but if not they can help you find someone who can do it for you at your location or even take it back to their shop and install it there.

It is important to note that some roadside assistance plans do not include changing tires and may only cover bringing a spare tire out to you. If this is the case, then it is up to you to find someone who can change the tire for you or do it yourself.

Conclusion:

Tow trucks are incredibly valuable in emergency situations like getting stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire. They can bring out a spare tire and even help install it for you if needed. However, make sure that your roadside assistance plan covers this service or else be prepared to find someone who can change the tire for you.
