    Pomps Tire is just a few miles away.
    I'm pretty sure they are a Michelin dealer plus some other brands.

    I just gave away a shower to a guy at this Petro in North Las Vegas.

    Shop is about 2 trucks deep, all bays.

    I asked how long of a wait to get a tire repaired. 4 hours at the moment.

    Truckstops were for me last resorts for tires, used only at night or when tire shops were closed, and only then If I could not wait.
    I tried to buy a new tire from a TA once for my step deck. There was no wait, but the price they gave me prompted me to single it out with my winch bar and drive on to a sapp bros.

    A tire with just low tread I would have run somewhere convenient for me.

    In your case, a Loves with a tire shop and a shower.

    Better question is why did it have low tread in the first place.

    Take it easy and enjoy the down time. Watch tv, get a split sleeper berth break while there is an oppurtunity.

    I have learned to try and be more positive.

    If you're an owner operator then I would be stressing out too.

    But company drivers should be less stressed out
