Re: Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire
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????

Re: Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire
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

Re: Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire
I have the Alpha and am running 35" STT's on stock rims with no issues at all.

Re: Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire
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.

Re: Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire
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.

Re: Spare tire Mount to fit 35" tire
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!!!!!!!
