Hi This is an Excellent Bike Rack, It came in no time, Nicely Plastic Wrapped incase of Rain, The Instructions were an Easy Read. I Installed it on my 2001 Honda CRV which was a Breeze, I do think that People Who are too week to lift a Tire shouldnt attempt this alone Though. When You install it you have one hand to hold the tire and one to Screw in your bolts. It does require Strength and Dexterity, and we who ride Bikes already Have that I would Think. I put My Trek Bike on the Rack it Fits Great ! , and Im Ready to tour the Countryside.
Thanks etrailer.com You Guys Know your Stuff Alan J

Very easy to install, looks great on my jeep. Very strong materials used to make. Looks to last me several years of riding trips. Bonus is that I can also mount it on my pop up tent trailer when I go camping. Very satisfying. Price was decent too. Thank you for prompt delivery. Sincerely, Mr. Mendez

Second one I've owned -- first was unfortunately lost in a move. Solid product that works well with my Jeep Wrangler. Carrier attaches easily to my spare tire, bikes attach easily to carrier. Have successfully made numerous cross-country with bikes with no issues. Convenient that swing gate opens without bike removal. What more could you ask of a bike carrier?

The good: solid construction. Easy to mount and remove. Secure mount to vehicle and holds bike securely. Built in lock in the clamping device.
The bad. Difficult to load 3 bikes on. It’s kind of a puzzle to get them all on and not rubbing together. We have a full size men’s, full size woman’s, and a 20” boys bike. All mountain bikes. Would not recommend for high end bikes as it will cause frame scuffing with multiple bikes loaded. Also there is a spot that holds water when it rains. They could have drilled some drainage holes.
by: Blair01/15/2018
A really good and secure design for holding bikes. The only downside to the one I received, is that the screw piece that holds the unit to the receiver doesn't screw in all the way. So when you go to apply the lock, you have to back the threads up slightly to make the lock holes align. this leaves the unit loose and will rock back and forth a bit.

Very easy to install on the spare tire. Sturdy construction and priced 1/3 of the top name brands. Also, non of the top name brands hold three bikes like this does. Extremely satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone.

How is it holding up for you so far? Do you use it much?

2003 Toyota RAV4
I bought this to replace the exact same rack I've had for about 7 years. The first Surco OSI Spare Tire Bike Rack became corroded after a time. I live in the northeast and left it on the car all year, so it's life expectancy could have been longer, but it was a "task" to remove it. It's definitely a hardy rack, but in reality it's a pain in the butt to use. It's the nature of the design. Also, it is designed to hold 3 bikes, but not without some cosmetic damage (at the very least) to the bikes. The only reason I bought it again is because it's the only feasible and reasonably priced bike rack for my 2003 Toyota RAV, which I've had for 13 years. I'm not going to replace the car right now, so I didn't have much of a choice. I only gave it 3 stars because I really don't like it, but it is a solid bike rack.

Packaged well arrived on time simple instructions however I suggest adding a threaded washer to hold the mounting plate to the tire carrier so there would be no movement of it while trying to replace the spare tire.
by: Elliott N02/13/2015
This is the second bike rack I bought, the first from another vendor and it broke (bent) the very first time out! This one is built like a Sherman Tank - exactly what I wanted!!!

It fits great on my 2005 Honda CR-V. So far I have only put two bikes on it but holds them well and does what it is supposed to.

See what our Experts say about this Surco Products Spare Tire Bike Racks
- Can the Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier be Installed Without the Spare Tire on a 2013 Jeep WranglerThe Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300, and all of the other spare tire racks for that matter, actually use the spare tire to help stabilize the bike rack so you will need your spare tire installed to utilize any of these bike racks. It would be best to have the spare tire for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler anyways in case you ever do have a flat. We do have other bike rack options that mount on the roof (via a roof rack) or in a trailer hitch. If you'd rather go one of these routes instead...

- Motorhome Bike Rack AvailabilityWe do offer a range of bike carriers that are suitable for use on the back of a trailer and all can be seen on the provided link. We offer RV-approved racks for camper roof or hitch mounting, and also for attachment to a ladder, ball mount or to the bumper on a camper. None of these racks is designed to attach to a spare tire carrier however. The linked article will explain further. At the back of an RV or trailer the ride quality is much rougher than that of a passenger vehicle, it takes...
view full answer... - Does the Surco Spare Tire 3 Bike Carrier Fit a 2001 Toyota RAV4Yes. The Surco Spare Tire 3 Bike Carrier is a confirmed fit for your 2001 Toyota RAV4. I love that this rack comes with a built in lock for added security. If you'll be carrying any bikes with odd shaped frames like women's and kids bikes, you may need a frame adapter like the Swagman Deluxe # 64005 to carry those bikes on this rack. I've attached a video on how the frame adapter works.
view full answer... - Replacement Mounting Plate for Surco Spare Tire Bike Rack BT300The replacement back plate you would need is part # SPN-115. This is the correct part number for your Surco Spare Tire Carrier part # BT300.
view full answer... - Bike Rack to Use on Forest River Salem Travel TrailerI've linked an article to help you determine the bolt pattern of your spare tire. However, the Surco Bike Carrier # BT300 is not designed to be used on the back of a trailer or motorhome. There is a lot more movement back there then there is on a vehicle so the bike rack suffers a lot more stress. Unfortunately, none of our spare tire racks can be used on the back of an RV or trailer. I've attached a link to all of the racks we carry that can.
view full answer... - 3-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Toyota RAV4In order to transport three bikes on your 2011 Toyota RAV4 I suggest a hitch-mount type carrier rather than a spare-tire-mount type such as the Thule # TH963PRO. that you referenced. Hitch mount racks will use the strongest part of the vehicle - its frame - to bear the weight of your carrier and loaded bikes, rather than the spare tire mount which is not really designed to carry too much more weight than that of the spare tire itself. If you still prefer a spare tire mount type I suggest...
view full answer... - Spare-Tire-Mount Bike Rack for Use on Rear of 2014 Aliner Scout Travel TrailerThank you for providing a photo of your Aliner's spare tire mount on its rear bumper. Any bike rack designed for use on the rear of a camper or trailer has to be specially built to withstand the forces encountered at the rear of such vehicles. Much in the same way that the last seat in a school bus or the last car in a roller coaster gets a rougher ride than those up front, any accessory item installed at the rear of a trailer will be subjected to strong lateral and vertical forces that...

- Installation/Removal of the Surco BT300 On a Jeep WranglerThe backing plate of the Surco Bike Rack part # BT300 that you referenced attaches to the rim by it sliding over the mounting plate for the wheel and then using the lug nuts that attach the wheel to the vehicle as a way to secure the wheel and the mounting plate to the vehicle. If you can loosen the bolts that hold the wheel to the vehicle it should remove. It is also possible that you are referring to the security bolt that holds the rack to the mounting plate. That would have been tightened...

- Will the Surco Spare Tire Bike Rack Fit on a 2000 Honda CRVThe Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300 is confirmed by Surco to fit on your 2000 Honda CRV. The heavy duty mounting plate can attach to any spare tire and locks bikes to the rack. This rack is made from heavy duty steel which allows it to hold up well during road trips. The padded channels allow your bikes to be held without getting scratched up. You do not need additional components for this bike rack. The rack comes with every part needed for it to work properly. However, if you...
view full answer... - Will the Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300 fit a 2004 Toyota Rav4I checked with Surco and they confirm that the Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300 as a fit for your 2004 Toyota RAV4 so it would be a great gift idea for you.
view full answer... - Will Malone RunWay Spare Tire Bike Rack Fit 2002 Jeep Wrangler XThe Malone RunWay, part # MPG2148, is confirmed to fit your 2002 Jeep Wrangler as long as you have the factory spare tire. Your only catch is the 35 pound bike because the RunWay has a maximum capacity of 33 pounds per bike. Since you're so close you likely won't have an issue. I definitely recommend loading the heavier bike closest to the Jeep though. You also may need a bike frame adapter bar for the girl's bike to keep it level on the rack. I recommend the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005.
view full answer... - Will the Surco Mounting Bracket # SPN550 Fit 1997 Jeep WranglerThe part # SPN550 that you referenced is the mounting bracket for the Surco Spare Tire Carrier part # BT300 that has been confirmed as a fit for your 1997 Jeep Wrangler so yes, it will fit your vehicle.
view full answer... - spare tire 3 bike rack Wrangler 2015The Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike rack part # BT300 that you came from has a total weight capacity of 105-lbs or 35-lbs per bike. From my research I found the ebikes can weigh up to 70-lbs. I am afraid the electric bikes you want to carry would be much more than the carrier can handle, even with the batteries removed. We do not have a spare tire mounted bike carrier that can handle the weight of your bikes. The best option I can recommend is the Thule Easy Fold XT, part # TH903202, that is...
view full answer... - Replacement Locking Knob for Surco Spare Tire Mount Bike RackYes. I did some checking and replacement knob # SPN-104 also fits the Surco spare tire bike rack # BT300. The Surco bike racks all have similar top plates that take the same knob.
view full answer... - Which Spare Tire Bike Rack Has the Highest Weight CapacityI have attached a list of all our spare tire mounted bike racks for you to look through. Out of these options, the Surco Spare Tire 3 Bike Rack part # BT300 as you mentioned has the highest carrying capacity which is 35 lbs per bike. The rest of the spare tire mounted bike rack options we offer top out at 33 lb per bike. The Surco will allow for up to 3 bikes to be carried at a time, has rubber pads to protect the bike's frame, and comes with a lock. If you will be using this bike rack...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Bike Carrier to Fit on Wide TiresI do have another option for you but the Surco spare tire bike rack, part # BT300, does not fit oversized tires. Take a look at the Hollywood Racks SR2, part # HRSR2, instead. It'll fit up to 12-1/2 wide tires so it's pretty likely to fit your Jeep tires. The catch is it's only a 2-bike carrier. We don't have any 3-bike carriers that fit oversized tires. I've posted a video of the SR2 on a 2016 Wrangler so you can see how it looks.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota Rav4I spoke to my contact at Surco and she informed me that the Surco Spare Rack part # BT300 won't fit your 2008 Toyota Rav4 without modification to the mounting plate for the spare at the rear. She said there is a lip on the plate that interferes with the install of this carrier. If you could remove that lip the rack would fit. Thule lists their Spare Me part # TH963PRO as a fit without any modification. I attached an install video that shows this rack being demoed on a similar RAV4 for...
view full answer... - Weight Capacity for the Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike rack part # BT300I spoke to my contact at Surco and she told me that the Surco Spare Tire Mounted Bike rack part # BT300 that you referenced can carry up to a 35 lb bike per frame cradle. So the total weight capacity for the rack is 105 lbs.
view full answer... - Is Replacement Top Plate Available for Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300According to my contact at Surco the replacement top plate for their # BT300 3-bike spare-tire-mount bike carrier is part # SPN-101.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Mounted Trunk rack Recommendation for a 2005 Toyota RAV4The most economically priced spare tire mounted bike rack we offer that would work well on your 2005 Toyota RAV4 would be the Surco Bike rack part # BT300. For an adapter for your bike frame I would recommend the Swagman Adapter bar part # 64005. This is also the most economically priced adapter bar we offer that actually is easier to use than the other brand adapters.
view full answer... - 2015 Ford Transit Connect Spare Tire Bike Rack RecommendationThe Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300 is listed as fitting pretty much every spare tire so it should be good to fit your 215/55R16 on your 2015 Ford Transit Connect - Surco doesn't have any specs when it comes to fitment. If you're wanting something that is a little more of a definite fit then I recommend the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack # TH963PRO which fits tires up to 12-1/2" wide with up to 4" left or right offset. Your tire is only 8-1/2" wide so we know it is compatible.
view full answer... - Does Surco Spare Tire Carrier part # BT300 Fit 2014 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedThe Surco Spare Tire Carrier part # BT300 that you referenced will fit your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The Unlimited and non-Unlimited Wranglers are set up the same at the rear so the rack would fit both well.
view full answer... - Bike Rack that Holds Three Bikes for 2016 Jeep WranglerWe do have a bike rack that works for your application, but unfortunately, the Hollywood Racks bike rack # HRF2-3 does not fit your Wrangler correctly. Your spare tire will be in the way for # HRF2-3 and it's designed for a hatch style rear door. I recommend the Surco # BT300 spare tire bike rack which offers you a total weight capacity of 105-lbs or 35-lbs per bike so you can carry your bikes with no problem. The Surco rack fits around your stock size spare tire and doesn't make contact...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Bike Rack that Can be Mounted Off-Center for a 2005 Honda CR-VSurco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300 does not have the ability to be mounted off-center on your 2005 Honda CR-V. We do have 1 spare mounted bike rack that can be mounted off-center; take a look at the Thule Spare Me # TH963PRO. It can be set up so that it and your bikes are more centered behind the vehicle. But it only comes in a 2-bike model. To carry more than 2 bikes and have them centered behind the vehicle I recommend installing a trailer hitch, # 75690, and using a hitch mounted...
