Compare and contrast Tire Carrier Options, feel free to post other options. These are just some tire carriers people had on a recent Lost Burritos get together.
Rocky Mountain Westy
adjustable latch bump stop, anti rattle
note how the open position lines up with the body, so cars parked next to you are not blocked
open position can be set at various open angles
Gary Lee
open position would block a car parked next to me
how the Gary lee is held open
Tailgate Mounted Tire
pvc tube holds hatch open
Van Cafe bent wire carrier

Both sides swing open and I plan on building a modular rack for the right side, so either bikes, skis, fuel tanks or even another spare someday.
