asked by: Dave K
Helpful Expert Reply:
If you plan to mount a tire on your Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 49" x 40" x 6" # TH859XT or the TH859XT-8591XT, it is safer to put the tire on its side in the basket (as opposed to being right-side-up with the tire treads meeting the bottom of the basket). If you need attachment straps to keep your spare tire secure on the Canyon XT, I recommend the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks # EM34409.
