Question:
I am looking for a Heavy Duty trailer tongue / side frame mounted spare tire carrier like the Fulton High-Mount Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier - Fits 4- and 5-Lug Wheels Item # FSTC1000301. But I have 235/80R16 8-Bolt wheel and tire combination. Can you recommend a good option for me? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
If your spare tire is under 45-lbs, then you can use the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 but a better solution if you've got a trailer frame that is 4" x 4" would be the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730. This carrier has a capacity of 60-lbs so it's going to be able to handle a little bit more beefy of a wheel; while it's normally meant for a bumper, it can be used on a trailer frame all the same.
I've linked some review videos of these for you to check out.
