Suggestions on spare tire mounts

[karlfdburg]

Does anyone have any recomendations for mounting a spare tire mount on their trailer? There seem to be quite a few out there so I would like to get some feedback on your experiences. Currently, the spare tires ride in the back area of the "boat's" Explorer. I have a LoadRite single axle trailer with ST175/80D13 tires.

Thanks!

These work, they're cheap, and you can mount the tire on the trailer tongue or anywhere else you have enough space.

I bought the one that came from my trailer manufacturer. I like it, and they are fairly reasonable, and in SC. Wesco: wescotrailers.net/index.php?route=product/category&path=96

Thank you for the replies. Wasn't sure what anyone's experience was with the u-bolt-like option. Looked at the one on the site in S.C., too. That's not bad either. I've got two to mount so i've got to relook my space-to-location options.

Thanks!

I have this one from TSC. I've had a couple of different boats. I like it. Good and solid. Once I fit the tire to it I weld the bolts in place so they don't fall out when I remove the tire, but it is good without doing that.

I used the U bolt type shown my Juan and it works, just not real solid (and the threads stripped out on mine after I removed it a few times).

Found one at AgriSupply that worked great. Thanks for all the advice!
