Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire

[blindzebra]

wow, im glad I ripped off the spare mount from my totalled 06 before they took her away from me.

[Mu-taint]

That doesn't sound right. I've got an 08 H3 Alpha Adventure and my 35" Mickey Spare fits? REAL CLOSE, but the door opens and no rubbing??

I agree, I have seen two Alphas with 35 MT's on them without issue.

Are you running the stock rim? ...or aftermarket?

Is it possible you didn't have it mounted up properly Or did you maybe hold it up there and say no way is that gonna fit????

[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.
