Expert Reply:

Between the Inno Tire Hold # INH120 and the Thule T2 Pro XTR I recommend the T2 Pro XTR hands down. It can handle up to 5" wide tires as opposed to 3" like the Tire Hold, it can accommodate a larger wheelbase (50-1/2"), plus it is a little easier to load the bikes since you have the one arm that holds it in place really well. The other great thing is that you can convert the T2 Pro XTR to a 4-bike rack if you need to do that in the future with the 2-bike add-on part # TH9036XT.

Really the only advantage that the Tire Hold has over the T2 Pro XTR is that it can fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers whereas the T2 Pro XTR comes so that it only fits a 1-1/4", part # TH23JV or a 2" receiver, part # TH83JV.
