Having a spare tire on hand is a must for any off-roader and having a spare tire mount is even more important. With these handy mounts, you can easily secure a spare tire to your vehicle, adding an extra layer of preparedness for any unexpected flat tire situations. We’ve outlined some buying factors below for you.
The size of your tire is the most important factor when it comes to choosing a mount. You want to make sure that the mount you choose is compatible with the size of your tire. Many adjustable mounts are capable of holding multiple sizes, so look for such options if you have different-sized tires.
The weight of your spare tire should also be taken into consideration when buying a mount. Most mounts can carry anywhere from 10-50 lbs, but make sure to check the specific mount for an exact weight limit.
The construction materials of your mount are also important. Make sure you choose one that’s made from durable, long-lasting materials. Thankfully, most of the mounts on the market are carefully crafted by their manufacturers and they’ve passed rigorous tests.
Take a look at the features of the mount. Make sure it has adjustable straps that allow you to secure the tire firmly, and check for other features such as quick-release mechanisms. All these will add to the convenience.
