Expert Reply:

The only difference from the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier, part # TR-1, and part # TR-2, is that part # TR-2 folds down to provide access to storage areas when mounted to your RV.

If you think the folding feature would come in handy, I would recommend part # TR-2. If you think you can do without the folding feature, part TR-1 will work just fine. Part # TR-1 may also be a little quieter when mounted, as it is all one piece.

I contacted our representative at Stromberg Carlson about what size wheels and tires will fit. She informed me that it will fit spare wheel and tire sizes for RVs and some small passenger car size wheels. If your 205/75/15 wheel and tire is a spare size, it should work great on either Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier, part # TR-1, or part # TR-2. The Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier is designed to fit 5, 6 and 8 lug wheels.
