Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire

[I.P.BLOOD]

I actually picked up the 35" stock rim mounted with a 35" Toyo Mt and the bottom of the tire hit the bumper, forcing the top of the tire to lean in and rest on the wiper. Perhaps your Mickey Thompson's are a bit smaller than the Toyo's. BTW I inflated them to 45 PSI. Do you think that is too much? I run off road about 20% of the time in mud. When on the Highway, they make less noise than the stock bridgestones!!! Thanx

I have the Alpha and am running 35" STT's on stock rims with no issues at all.

I've had the Toyos on mine for 1 1/2 years. Never had a problem fitting a tire on the rear carrier and I've never heard of anyone else having a problem either.

hmmmm, make me wonder if there was a change in the mount OR
does he maybe have too much air. I know it won;t make that much of a difference, but may be just enough to squeeze it on there.

worth a shot.

After a renewed sense of confidence given to me by this listserve, I tried again to mount the tire. Success!!! I had to put the bottom lug on first and then push the top of the tire onto the top two lugs. It worked Thanx to everyone who replied!!!!!!!
