Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Jeep Wrangler and 2014 Land Rover LR4

Question:

I am looking for a bike rack that will fit both my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Limited and 2014 Landrover LR4. Is there a rack that will mount on spare tire and on wifes SUV? We do not have hitches so that is not an option. Also my jeep does have 35inch tires. Thanks

The Thule Spare Me Bike Carrier # TH963PRO should work for you, we had a customer with 35 inch tires report back to us saying this carrier worked well for him. The biggest determining factor will be the width of your tires though as this carrier is designed for tires from P195 (7.7 inches) to P318 (12.5).

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
