  • Swing Away Hitch Adapter With Spare Tire Rack For Van
  • Hi Dan, What you can do is use a swing away extender and then add a hitch-mounted spare tire carrier. For that I recommend going with the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender # SAR36VR with the etrailer Spare Tire Mount for Hitch # e98ZR. The Saris extender has a 250 lb capacity and the spare tire mount is just 17 lbs so you can still carry a heavy spare for your van.

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation to Clear Spare Tire Mounted on a Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier
  • Great question, David! The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR requires at least 8-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part of the spare tire in order for it to fit properly. The center of the hitch pin hole on the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is about 5-5/8" behind the face of the mounting plate for your spare tire which means your tire can't sit more than 2-7/8" out from the mounting plate in order for you to be able to use the StageTwo. For an alternative...

  • Is It Ok For My Spare Tire To Have A Different PSI/Load Rating Than The Other Tires?
  • That is a good question, James. Having a different load rating or PSI rating for your spare tire is fine as long as you don't have too far to go, and you are using it for a spare only. Ideally, the spare would be identical to the rest of the tires as far as PSI and load rating. Using different tires long term can cause uneven tire wear or sway issues and it can decrease ride quality. Not only should the spare be the same size, capacity, load range, and have the same psi rating but it should...

  • How Large Of A Spare Tire Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e72AR Allow For On A 2024 Acura RDX
  • Hey Kurt, The tech note on the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e72AR is talking about wheel diameter and not overall diameter of the wheel and tire. Since you have 17" wheels you shouldn't have an issue with a full-size spare.

  • What Is the Mast Height on the etrailer Spare Tire Carrier
  • The height of the etrailer Spare Tire Carrier # e98ZR is 25", and the angle of the mounting plate is 65 degrees to the mast, but bends 10 degrees, and then the plate mounts to the mast at 15 degrees. I've attached the dimensional drawing of the plate, as well as the height of the mast for you to check out.

  • Hitch Adapter Needed To Haul A Spare Tire And Still Be Able To Fold Up A Tow Bar
  • Hey Jeff, To be able to haul a spare tire and still be able to fold up your Blue Ox tow bar into the stowed position you'll need the Roadmaster Spare Tire Mount # RM-195125. The spare tire carrier has a release pin to pivot the tire down for easier loading/unloading that you'll need to utilize in order to be able to fold your tow bar up into the stowed position. The tire mount can hold all wheels with a lug nut circle up to 7". Use of this spare tire carrier reduces the tongue weight...

  • Spare Tire For 4 X 8 Apogee Optimax Folding Utility Trailer
  • The Apogee Optimax Folding Utility Trailer will use a bias ply tire. Specifically it is a 5.30-12 tire with a load range C. For a spare tire I recommend the Kenda 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30850. You can mount this to the front of the trailer with the CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers # CE22007Z-11050-2. There the tire will not interfere with the folding ability of the Apogee trailer.

  • Has Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Been Tested on Tiffin Midas Motorhome
  • We have three different Roadmaster Spare Tire Carriers to choose from. None of them have been specifically tested on a Tiffin Midas since this is not a vehicle or trailer specific product. As long as you have a 2" or 2-1/2" receiver on the back of your motorhome you will be able to use the spare tire carrier. You will also want to check to see what wheels are compatible. We have the following: -Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 (Fits 2" Hitch. Fits all wheels with a lug nut circle...

  • Spare Tire for 2024 Coleman Lantern LT 17r
  • You will want to use the same tire size for a spare on your 2024 Coleman Lantern. If the appearance doesn't matter to you then you could use the Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" White Wheel # AM32181. After looking at pictures I believe you have a silver mod wheel on there right now. If you want the spare to look the same you could get the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20363 and the # TTWTR21514. We do not have a wheel and tire combo in this style.

  • Will the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack Work w/ the Spare Tire on a 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 250?
  • Thanks for the picture! No, I am sorry it's not going to Tina. The wheel tray isn't going to be high enough to clear the top of the spare tire on the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack item # TH302043.

  • Will The Curt 4 Bike Rack C18087 Have Clearance For Spare Tire On A 2022 Ford Bronco?
  • Hey Will, to answer your question, probably not. You are almost definitely going to need a hitch extension in order to put a bike rack on your 2022 Ford Bronco with the spare on the back. We do not have a way to know exactly how far back your spare tire extends so if you were to measure, we could definitely get a bitter idea of what will fit. You will want to measure from the center of your hitch pin hole straight out to the rearmost point of the spare tire. Once we know that measurement,...

  • Does Tongue Weight Capacity of Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Include Carrier Itself
  • Yep, you're 100 percent on the money, Al. The 200 lb tongue weight capacity is only for what is put in the receiver and does NOT count the weight of the spare tire and the carrier itself for the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125.

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack Carry Two 80lb Bikes and Clear a Spare Tire?
  • The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR is capable of carrying 2 bikes up to 80lbs per bike. As you have a spare tire on the back of your vehicle you are going to need either an Extender # C45791 or Swing Away Extender # Y02483 to clear the spare tire. The swing away extender is best if you have a rear door which swings open and would like to access it when you are using the bike rack.

  • Can Spare Bike Rack Carrier Fit 2011 Toyota RAV4 with Spare Cover
  • Hey Paul, so the Hollywood Racks spare bike rack part # HRSR1 that you referenced does fit your 2011 Toyota RAV4 but you would need to take the spare cover off of it. So a better option might be a hitch rack like the Hollywood Racks part # HR200Z with a hitch that fits your vehicle like the etrailer part # e98864 since most likely you want to keep the spare cover on.

  • Spare Tire Option For 2023 Coleman Rubicon 1200RK
  • Hi Christopher; from what I could find online, the 2023 Coleman Rubicon 1200RK uses a 215/75-14 tire, and for a spare that would work you can use the Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TTWTRTM2157514D. These are the same size but not an exact match, because your Rubicon uses off-road tires. So this will get you out of a pinch if you have a flat, or work just fine as a replacement if you want to switch away from off-road tires.
