Spare Tire Mount

Tires

The mount provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant attachment point that holds the spare tire firmly in place during normal driving and prevents movement or detachment.

The spare tire mount is the structural bracket and fastening hardware that keeps your spare tire secured to the vehicle, typically mounted under the bed of a truck, beneath the cargo area of an SUV, or on the rear bumper. Over time, rust, corrosion, and vibration can weaken or damage the mount, causing the spare to rattle, hang loosely, or fall away from the vehicle.
