For your older Yakima Raptor roof mount bike carrier, I recommend using the Yakima Universal MightyMounts # Y03590. I confirmed with my contact at Yakima that the Universal MightyMount will work with your Raptor bike carrier. The MightyMounts will allow you to carry your Raptor bike carrier on the Thule AeroBlade crossbars. The AeroBlade bars are 3-1/8 inches wide and the MightyMounts will fit bars up to 4 inches wide.

13 inch trailer wheel/tires like the size 185/80-13 like part #AM1ST79 are rated for up to 81 MPH. Most trailer tires are only rated for 65, so if 65 is the limit you have then you'd be good.
