Been searching for a spare tire carrier like this forever. Works great on small utility trailer with angle iron railing. 897195

Thank you for your review. The etrailer Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer with Angle-Iron Railing fits spare tires that are 12 to 15 with a maximum of 8 tire width. The carrier is compatible with bolt patterns, 4 on 4, 5 on 4-12, 5 on 5, 6 on 5-12 and 8 on 6-12. The part of the carrier that attaches to the trailer frame fits trailer frames from 1-12 to 2 long and 18 to 14 thick.

Seems well built. Installed it today on my trailer. Need to get some 1/2” bolts so I can use the same size lug nuts as the wheels on the trailer. Came a day later than the email said but not a big deal. 892693

great product. Only reason I don't give it a 5 star is the bottom piece should be bigger and have a grade 8 bolt. just made my own but shouldn't have to. Still a great idea and great product. 882859

Great product. Great service. 895005

The only thing better would be a way to lock it onto the trailer. 881461

One solution to secure your spare trailer tire to your trailer is to use a short cable lock. Depending on the side of your tire and trailer mounting location, we have 4ft cable locks TR63255, 5ft cable locks 8156DPS, and 6ft cable locks 8157DPS that may work for you.

This worked great on my trailer that is built with angle steel. Was hard finding one that fit well 878011

Product was as advertised and of good quality. Perhaps a little high in price, but then you often get what you pay for. Instructions were clear. The only issue I encountered was that the Angle Iron Attachment Bracket fits only 2” angle iron trailer rails. My trailer has 3” angle iron which required drilling a hole for the bracket’s carriage bolt. This wasn’t a major problem and in fact is a stronger attachment as it is through bolted rather than clamped. I realize most trailers are 2” angle iron, but think it should be pointed out that anything other than 2” angle iron may require adjustments or modifications. Otherwise completely satisfied with product, would recommend it. Only gave 4 stars in the hope that someone will read review and notify people in product description. 876679

This spare tire carrier is an excellent design idea...I have installed it on my trailer...however, like other reviews have mentioned, the small metric carriage bolt retainer must be replaced with a grade 6 cap screw (bolt w/ nut). I also welded this carrier at the top rail to add additional stability. And I replaced the metric bolts that attach the wheel to the carrier with SAE bolts and nuts with a 3/4 inch heads and 3/4 inch nuts (socket size). 874372

Not made from cheap metal and goes on quick and easy. 871713

Quick delivery and item was exactly what I wanted. 871349

This is a great spare carrier. Small but durable! Directions are simple to follow. 866716

Happy with the product as it’s sleek, compact and easy to install. The install video comes in handy. 865011

Fast shipping. Informative tracking information. Great product. 860873

I placed the order for a spare tire carrier and went with the lowest pricing on the shipping @ $6.99 which should have taken at least a week or more. To my surprise I received it in four days. I haven’t had time to install yet but it looks like a easy install and shouldn’t take more than ten minutes to install. I would highly recommend this and etrailer for a good product and extremely fast delivery. 858481

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD MOUNT. I would have given it 5 stars except for 2 issues. There is a weld that interferes with a flush, solid fit to the trailer rail. Second, the M6 grade 5 (or less) screw and nut that holds the small plate to the rail broke at about 40 foot pounds of torque to the main M12 bolt. I had to replace it with a grade 8 cap screw and nut and then I was able to achieve the recommended 50 ft. torque specification. 851651

Packaged very poorly. Just thrown in a small box with no padding and bolts/washers spilled throughout. Poor packaging resulted in one corner of the mount being chipped and bent (no doubt from handling during the shipping process - but with no protection in the box it's not unexpected). Small carriage bolt on the bottom of the mount threads sheared off when tightening the lock nut, I had to go to Home Depot to get a better bolt. Apparently my vertical angle iron is too wide as I had to frill a hole in the iron to get the attachment bracket to work. Other than that I was able to get it mounted and the tire installed. Hopefully this thing lasts. 837115

I installed the spare tire carrier a short time ago and found the install a bit frustrating. The tiny 1/4 bolt is very low quality and stripped out immediately but I was grateful it happened now and not on a bumpy dirt road. After I found a hardened replacement bolt the setup worked as it should. The spare tire appears solid and tight in the carrier. 831749

Excellent spare tire carrier for someone that doesn’t want to weld on their trailer. Easy to install also. It is exactly what I wanted ! Quality item that WORKS !!! 831630
