Question:

What is the maximum weight that these tire carriers can handle? I have a classic, Thor motor home on a Ford E450 chassis. I want to carry a spare tire and wheel. Thanks,

There is not a weight capacity for this Folding, Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier, part # TR-2, the only stipulation is that you only carry trailer tires on this, and not a wheel for any powered vehicles.

For a spare carrier designed for motorhome spares like what you have you'd need a carrier like the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 as it is designed for motorhome applications like yours. Check out the picture I attached to see it in use.
