Trailer Spare Tire Mount Carrier for 4/5/6 Lug Wheels - Sturdy Tongue

In this review of the Trailer Spare Tire Mount Carrier, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, no-nonsense spare tire solution for boat and utility trailers that need an easy tongue-mounted spare. The reviewer found it best for owners who want a compact carrier that bolts on without cutting or drilling and can handle a typical trailer spare under the 120 lb rating. Its strongest selling point is a reinforced, zinc plated steel build that resists corrosion while keeping installation straightforward with included hardware and clear instructions.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits most trailer tongues up to 4 in wide and 4 in high and accepts common 4 and 5 lug bolt patterns so it works with a wide range of trailer wheels.
• Load Capacity: Rated to hold up to 120 lbs, providing secure support for most spare trailer tires used on utility and boat trailers.
• Corrosion Resistance: Zinc plated and galvanized steel construction helps prevent rust and corrosion in marine and roadside environments.
• Easy Installation: Bolt-on design requires no cutting or drilling and comes with detailed instructions and zinc plated mounting hardware so you can install the carrier quickly.
• Secure Fastening: Double-nut and cone nut arrangement reduces the chance of losing the spare, offering an extra layer of security on the road.
• Reinforced Build: Sturdy welded construction gives the bracket a robust feel and stable support once mounted to the tongue.

Who It's For

This carrier is aimed at boat and utility trailer owners who want a compact, tongue-mounted spare solution that is durable and easy to fit. It suits owners replacing a worn bracket or adding a spare location without fabricating custom mounts; the included hardware and bolt-on design simplify the process.

People who require a carrier for very heavy specialty tires or have nonstandard tongue sizes larger than 4 in by 4 in should look elsewhere, as should buyers who need a carrier for wheels with unusual lug patterns not listed in the compatibility details.
