Spare Tire Carrier - Looking for comments/suggestions
We'll be heading down to Florida soon and have been thinking about purchasing a spare tire carrier for our rear bumper. The spare is currently located in our front storage area and it's somewhat heavy and takes up some valuable space that I'd rather use for storing my golf clubs/chairs/small grill, etc.
I'd appreciate suggestions from those that have one or purchased one. I have a catalog with 2 different models - Ultra-Fab Universal Tire Carrier ($68) and Stromberg Carlson Tire Carrier, TR Series ($38). Both fit our 4" rear bumper. I've also thought about potential for theft and would get some sort of locking device. Other brands that you like or could suggest would be appreciated.
There's plenty of support relative to weight of the tire so that's not a concern for me. But any positives or negatives from those that have one would be helpful too. Thanks!
