Continental Tire Dealer In SW Florida Needed

Checking tires today prior to leaving here on Sunday and found the inside passenger side dually at 0 PSI, so I hooked up my portable compressor and was able to air it up as it hadn't broken the bead.

Tomorrow I'm having roadside assistance come over and figure out what's wrong, but in preparing for the worst (purchasing a new tire) I have been unable to find a Continental truck tire dealer in this area that will even talk to me.  The ones I have found and called
won't give me the time of day because I'm not a member or have a national account.  The Continental website doesn't show any dealers in a search and their phone line doesn't pick up.

Called Good Sam Emergency Roadside Assistance and they will only come and either air up the tire or replace it, with no consideration of repairing it.  In other words if it only needs a new valve stem that's not an option. 

I'm running Continental HSL2 275/80R22.5

Any help is appreciated.

You probably already tried this link - but just in case: Dealer Locator 

Hopefully it is just the tire valve.

Last night about 9:30 PM I over-inflated the tire to 107 PSI and after checking it just now (13 hours later) it's down only about 1-1/2
PSI.

So now at least I can drive to a tire shop somewhere and get it checked out.

I was in a similar situation a couple years ago. I found a "truck" Goodyear tire place close by. Changed the valve stem, and was good to go. I have Michelin's. Good travels

I tightened the valve stem extension about 1/2 turn and there's been no loss of air in the last 22 hours. 
Hope that was the problem.

I'm hoping I don't need a new tire as there aren't any Continental HSL2 275/80R22.5's in the state of Florida from what I can determine.  Maybe I'll switch back to Michelins...............with availability being the concern rather than premature sidewall checking.

I don't want to have a flat and then have to wait for a few days to get a replacement.  What's everybody running for tires today that they feel confident that a replacement is readily available?  Until now I hadn't really considered it.  Odd size has a lot to do with it I'd say.

I got a gash on the driver side front tire so replaced both fronts with Michelin's.. pricey but I feel a difference in how they drive and ride.. they are a nice tire
