3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't fit wider tires, May 25, 2010

This is a well-constructed rack but it has limited adjustability. It can handle a narrow range of tire widths. P235/75R15s are at least an inch too wide. The instruction sheet says: "your vehicle must be equipped with the stock spare tire", it is "Not intended for tandems or recumbents" and "Not intended for off-road use". There is, however, adjustability to left or right to compensate for an off-set rear spare. It would not fit my spare and I returned it. The Yakima Sparetime is more adjustable but it, too, has its drawbacks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fits the 2010 Rav4 just fine, June 8, 2010

Had the rack installed in something like 5 minutes after getting the spare tire off the SUV.
Get the new model: it's called the Spare Me XT. The older models do not support the Rav4.
The Yakima Spare Time did not fit the 2010 Rav4.

This review is from: Thule 963XT Spare-Me Tire Mount, 2 Bike Rack (Automotive)

Great bike rack that is specifically made to mount onto the spare tire of the Honda CRV. Easy to mount. Serves us well. Bikes stay secure.
