Do they tie off to the what looks like tubes running down the rear of the spare?
Also...It looks like I could keep my soft tire cover on the spare also. Can you confirm that?
Thanks..

There are metal hooks on each strap. I attach mine to the right and left of the trailer hitch on the metal bumper. The fit perectly and do not scratch the bumper. The straps start at the middle of the tire in the picture and run to the bottom. There are no more tubes below the silver cross bar even though the pic kinda looks like it. You should be able to keep the soft cover on just fine. It will help protect your wheel from being scratched by the silver cross bar too. I don't think this rack will work with the hard tire covers though.
Hope that helps!
