Bike rack ideas?

[babbs2299]

I'm looking for a bicycle rack. I want a spare tire style rack but I have 33 Pro comps Mud TA's. Any one have any good suggestions before my cross country trip coming up?

This company is local to me, and not too far from virginia, and will match any price, and are knowlegable. I am not sure on tire size, but they have a few to choose from. If you are running an oversized tire as a spare, and it is connected to the tailgate, I would lean away from adding anymore weight to it. Hope this helps.

i have LT245/75R16E BSW 31" MT/R Tire on and i bought a thule bike carrier and it barely fit but works well. i think the only way is as a hitch reciever or on the roof. i will have to go that route if i get bigger tires myself.

I too struggled with this for a bike rack. With a 33" spare, no over the tire rack will work. I didn't want to have to add the bar to keep the bike level either. So I ended up with a Sport rack model 91330 that I bought from www.etrailer.com. It installs into the receiver.Thule makes one that is similar but cost twice as much.I chose the one I did based on how far I need to go. Most of my riding is only 20 minutes away. And I don't have to disassemble anything. I let you know how it is after I get it. According to the tracking it should be here tomorrow.

While it doesn't fit your exact requirements, I thought I'd throw out what I did for a bike rack in case it would suit your needs. I think I ended up spending about $100 for this setup at Bass Pro Shop.
