I have used a bloke in Adelaide for the OKA truck tyres sometimes.
Could you fit a new tubeless truck tyre in 30 seconds? This bloke can.

I suppose an emergency replacement may be OK away from Tyre Dealership - I would be concerned about the availability of a home service to balance the refitted tyre/wheel.

I use balance beads that I add myself. They last the life of the tyre.

I have not used any on site tyre replacement services
Just about any tyre place would come to you, if they were not working flat out, in their workshop
Most of them would have a ute, with their tools, and a compressor on the back
If you needed a wheel balance, they would probably take the wheel back to their workshop, and put the new tyre on there
It would be just a matter of ringing around, and asking
I assume that it would be added cost
In Bunbury WA, and Tamworth NSW, I have personally ordered two new tyres, and then taken the two wheels from my motorhome, into their workshops
Each time the tyre people, (two different organisations), offered to then take my wheels to my motorhome, and fit them for me

We are equipped to make repairs ourselves in the bush. We carry plugs and internal patches that can make medium term repairs to quite severe damage if needed.
Yes I thought I was prepared too !! Didnt have the crank handle to lower the spare !! Ahh just took longer ! Having a good Jack etc too . Carry a torque multiplier for wheel
Nuts !!!
Anyone use on site tyres replacement ?
