Commercial Tire Service
Blowouts don't wait. Mobile commercial tire replacement and repair for tractors and trailers, day or night.
On-site, done right.
A commercial tire failure is not an inconvenience — it is a safety event that puts the driver, the load, and other motorists at risk. Interstate Fleet Services provides mobile commercial tire service with our own trucks and technicians, bringing tire replacement and roadside repair capability directly to the vehicle rather than requiring a tow to a tire shop. We carry commercial tires in the most commonly needed steer, drive, and trailer sizes so that a roadside flat does not become a multi-hour ordeal.
IFS tire service handles the full scope of commercial tire events: roadside flat tire replacement, air pressure restoration after slow leaks, tire mounting and demounting with proper torque procedures, valve stem replacement, and limited roadside repair of repairable punctures in the tread area. We work on all wheel and rim configurations common to Class 6 through Class 8 trucks and trailers — standard steel disc wheels, aluminum wheels, and multi-piece rim assemblies handled with the safety protocols those assemblies demand.
Beyond emergency response, IFS integrates tire checks into every preventive maintenance and inspection service we perform. Proper inflation, even tread depth, and correctly torqued wheels are the simplest and most cost-effective way to prevent tire-related breakdowns. When we are on-site for a PM, we check every tire so that problems are caught in the yard, not on the interstate.
What's included
- Roadside tire replacement
- On-site tire repair
- Steer, drive & trailer positions
- Casing & inflation checks
Signs it's time to dial.
- A tire has gone flat or is rapidly losing pressure and the driver cannot safely continue
- A tire blowout has occurred and the rim, hub, or surrounding components need inspection before the vehicle moves
- Low tire pressure warnings are active on the TPMS system and the driver needs inflation service at their location
- A tire is visibly damaged — sidewall bubbling, tread separation, cord showing, or impact damage from road debris
- A tire is mounted with incorrect pressure from a prior service and the fleet needs field inflation correction
- A steer or drive tire change is needed at a terminal or yard and a service truck is more practical than a trip to the shop
One call to back on the road.
Call & Dispatch
Call 1-888-589-9281 and tell us the vehicle location, the axle position of the affected tire, the tire size if known, and the nature of the failure. We confirm the size is in stock or advise on availability before dispatch.
On-Site Assessment
The technician inspects the failed tire and the surrounding components — rim, valve stem, wheel seals, brake drum or rotor — before touching the tire. A blowout can mask rim damage or brake heat events, and we want to confirm the vehicle is safe to return to service before mounting a new tire.
Tire Replacement or Repair
We demount the failed tire using proper commercial tire equipment, inspect the rim for damage, mount the replacement tire, inflate to the manufacturer-specified pressure, and torque the lug nuts or nut and stud hardware to spec using a calibrated torque wrench. Repairable punctures in the tread area are plugged and patched per industry standards when conditions allow.
Pressure Check & Release
Before releasing the vehicle, we check inflation on all tires on the affected axle and adjacent axles if accessible. Correct dual inflation pairing is verified on drive and trailer axles. The driver inspects the completed work and we document the tire event in the fleet service record.
Tire Service questions.
Does IFS carry commercial tires on the service truck, or do we need to supply the tire?
We stock the most common commercial tire sizes for steer, drive, and trailer positions on our service trucks. For less common sizes or specific brand preferences, we may need to source the tire first. Call 1-888-589-9281 and tell us the size — we will confirm availability before dispatching.
Can IFS service tires on a loaded semi at a shipper's dock?
Yes. We come to the truck wherever it is parked — dock, yard, roadside, or customer facility. We do not require the trailer to be unhitched or the load to be off before we can service the drive or trailer tires.
Is IFS available for tire calls in the middle of the night?
Yes. Commercial tire failures do not keep business hours, and neither do we. IFS dispatches tire service 24/7/365. Call 1-888-589-9281 any time.
Can IFS repair a tire on-site, or is replacement always required?
Tread-area punctures from nails or screws that meet size and location criteria for a proper plug-and-patch repair can often be repaired roadside. Sidewall damage, large punctures, blowouts, and run-flat damage are not repairable by industry standards and require replacement.
Does IFS torque lug nuts to spec, or just hand-tighten?
We use calibrated torque equipment — every lug nut is torqued to the manufacturer specification for that wheel and fastener configuration. Proper torque prevents wheel-off events and stud fatigue, which is why we do not skip this step even on emergency calls.
Broke down? We're already rolling.
