Re: Spare tire left on the road behind me

Adapting to a modern lift type would be a nice feature, but these tire carriers work and have been working since the trucks were built. If you have it mounted properly then the issue is not tight enough, as Mr48 suggested. By the pictures it doesn't look nearly tight enough. Like he said, the sidewalls should be compressed
