with our diesel pusher, which weighs upwards of 26,000lbs, or 13 tons, a 'normal' tire shop or retailer is not going to have the people, the equipment, or sometimes even the room required to handle such large tires, such a large vehicle, and the ability to get the vehicles wheels in the air to change them, especially the rear twins.

A TRUCK shop, though, and I mean SEMI trucks and DUMP trucks, can easily do it.
They handle this 'big' tires all the time, and probably even already have what you need IN STOCK. Their tools are MUCH larger, more powerful, and are more prepared to handle a big rig just as quickly as the retailers handle cars.
Now, on the other hand, to MOUNT your new tires on your existing wheels is another story with these big tires. It's much more a MANUAL and hard labor proposition, as there's no 'tire mount' machine generally found there - it's a hands on process, but they know what they're doing.
