Specs:
This sturdy spare tire carrier mounts to the trailer tongue in the front of the trailer. The offset design moves the tire and wheel up and away from the trailer frame to improve ground clearance. No drilling is required to install the carrier because the included U-bolts clamp the carrier to the trailer frame. The crisscross design increases the holding power of the U-bolts.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

I have had this mounted on my McClain trailer for a year now. It has worked well. It was easy to install and has the ability for a number of ways to attach. Very versatile!
It does what it is supposed to do. It holds my spare wheel and tire on my Bass boat trailer. Simple install. Just make sure you get a locking lug nut or cable lock so your spare stays safe and secure.
The product was adveritsed as galvanized. The mounting bracket itself was, but the fasteners were not. That sort of defeats the purpose. Ordering and delivery were very good, but I definitely did not get what I expected.
Product was exactly as ordered and appears to be of quality construction. Favorite feature Is that it has two sizes of u-bolts that offer multiple mounting configurations to fit various sizes of trailer frames. Very pleased with how it mounted. One thing, it will help to have someone hold the assembly in place while tightening the bolts initially or you could clamp in place. It is a bit difficult to hold everything together and get the nuts started on the u-bolts by oneself.
installed the tire carrier horizontally on my trailer, otherwise the tire hits the ground. very sturdy. a little disappointed in the weld job.
JMT - 07/09/2015The spare tire carrier was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the fast shipping. I look forward to getting it installed on my new trailer.
Mounted perfectly to trailer frame and spare wheel
JC - 12/13/2017Had a blowout on Sunday coming home from lake and had to leave my boat at friends house! That is not happening again! So I ordered this mount and a spare wheel and tire. Fits perfect and installation took 5 minutes!
Just got the part today mounted it to trailer in a jiff.Very solid tire mount.Just as discribed.Would highly recommend this one.
Ordering was easy delivery was fast I’ve been using this company for numerous things for the past 10 years and nothing bad to say
Great price, great quality and fast service and shipping. This is the best and only place to buy tires and trailer gear. The price I paid for two tires and wheels was less than I paid for a single tire I needed when one went flat on my last trip to lake Mead. Now with two spares I am no longer a victim of the " only tire shop open " Thank you .
Order originally arrived with missing pieces. etrailer immediately replaced the order which arrived complete, no questions asked. Excellent service.
The product is great, well made and well designed. The packaging split open during shipping and all of the fastening hardware was lost. I called etrailer and they are shipping me a new hardware set. They probably should have “boxed the box” before shipping. Disappointing, but they seem to be handling it well. Would be 5 star other than this issue.
I need a place to mount my spare tire on my drop down trailer door and this looked like it would work and it worked great. Four 3.5" x 7/16" bolts and nuts and it was done. My experience with this etrailer and the people that work here was great.
The tire carrier was very easy to mount, took about 15 minutes from box to spare tire in place.
I was looking for a sturdy spare tire bracket for my 5x8 utility trailer that I pull quite often out of town. This one is very stout and affixed well to my trailer. It was very easy to install and a good design.
Glad I purchased this model. All the hardware was fine, no complaints. Only way it would fit my trailer was to turn it sideways and bolt it up with carriage bolts. Drilled 4 holes and it was done. Very pleased with it.
Perfect fit for my RPOD (RP-179). I needed to move the spare tire to the tongue so I could put my bike rack on the back hitch. The rack showed up on time and was simple to install and worked like a charm.
Kelly - 01/06/2018Works as described sturdy gets spare tire out of the way. Galvanized should last for years. Mounted it to my galvanized utility trailor I use to haul my atv.
Glenn A - 10/30/2020Everything works great, spare tire holder looks to be robust-easy install, and it was delivered super fast
Needed a spare tire for out camper Attached ease to the frame done in 15 minutes
Received the product in a well packed box in about 6 days or so. All the parts were there. I have a typical utility 8' utility trailer that I haul behind my Hummer & when I mounted this unit on the side on the trailer front tongue as shown in the movie, when I put the spare tire on it, it was to low. Only about 6" or 7" from the ground. Not nearly high enough without rubbing the ground when I would go down a steep driveway or something like that. So I flipped the bracket up 90 degrees so that the tire would be facing up and spanned across the tongue instead of mounting it on the side. Worked great that way. I didn't take a picture. I wish I had. Took me about an hour to get this all figured out. Glad it came with 2 different sized "U" brackets. Wished they would have shown these other mounting options in the movie. That's why I gave it 4 stars. But works great now. BTW, very well built. Very solid and tough.
Came in on time, very good looking part and was very easy to install
