Will it hold a spare tire?

Assuming your spare tire is mounted on a bracket that requires a 2" receiver, the adapter is certainly capable of holding the weight of a spare tire.

Probably. Your bumper needs to be square. If it is and you have an adaptor for the tire then it will be sturdy enough.

Good question, all that I know is that it will hold a bike carrier and two adult bikes with no problem. I think if your bumper is strong enough it should work. This thing is solid steel.

In the mfg. rating it says maximum weight 200lbs. It also states for bicycle racks only!

Should be able to without a problem. The adaptor is really strong. Is your bumper strong enough? I probably wouldn't have the tire raised up to high.

I have a heavy duty Thule fold down bike rack and carry 80 pounds of bikes with no problem on the back of my RV, so I imagine that a spare tire holder would be a piece of cake.

I'm not sure, I don't know much about tires and their sizes... Though, not knowing if it would work, I measured my spare tire diagonally or from one end to the other, almost like a tv, from mid depth to mid depth and it was within the inches specified, so i guess I got lucky, because it ended up fitting. Sorry, i couldn't be of more help.

Yes, it will carry all of those. I carry a spare tube rolled up, two tire levers, a Park Tool allen wrench set, HTC Amaze smartphone, SKS Digital Tire Checker, house key, and all that fits without the bottom part being extended!

Does your vehicle have a externally mounted spare tire on the back end of the vehicle?

It should not, no. However, you may wish to look at the Freedom Superclamp, that rack only touches the tires

Depends on how big the spare tire is. Here are the dimensions for the rack: Length:47-1/4"Width:36-1/2"Height:5"Inside Length:45-1/4"Inside Width:30-1/4"Inside Height:5"

Probably not. The carrier is loose and wobbles too much, so double the possibility of impact and stress on bike and spare tire.

I don't think it will work as well. it won't grip the smaller tire and hold the bike upright unattended. it will still serve as a good front wheel chock.

I suspect the actual rack frame may hold that amount of weight but the loop frames where the tires sit are not that sturdy so I would be reluctant to carry that much especially as the rack will bounce a bit while driving. I think there are other options. Good luck.

I don't think it will as the rack has a metal plate on the top part that is supposed to stick to the tire wall providing extra support and balance.

As long as the weight limit is not exceeded and you are able to securely mount it, it should hold.

I have one of these racks and love it. I have it on my Yukon. I don't think there is enough room for a tire.

No. The front tire is not quite big enough. Holds a 20" though, for whatever that's worth to you. And this is posted from experience, as my two boys ride a 16" & a 20".

My Yakima bike rack is in excellent condition after one year's use. It would not however fit over a spare tire in the back of the car.

When folded up, this rack does NOT obscure the rear view. However, depending on the size of the spare tire, it may not fold up as designed.

I didn't try it with a car tire, but I am afraid it's not so strong. Thanks.

I'm not at home to measure how much room there is between the car and the upright. I think there should be enough room to get past the spare tire.
