Setup was easy, took a few tries to get the adjustment bars sizes correctly for my tires but they rest nicely now. I weighed these snow tires at ~70 lbs each before ordering. This would max out many other wall mount tire racks. Glad I ordered this one, feels totally solid and secure.
There were some scratches on the finish but let's be honest... I'm not struttin' this rack around town, it's not in the elements inside my garage and it's used to rack my seasonal tires. Still 5 stars all the way.
The bars they use are nice and hefty by the way. The welds and build quality are solid all around.
The tires I have up there right now are 265 70 17 winter wheels and tires and my 275 65 18 all season should fit up there just the same.
You can see that I mounted mine really high. To make it easier to get the 70 lb wheels and tires up that high I used a cheap block and tackle.
Super-Handy Heavy-Duty 4,000 LB Capacity Rope Hoist
-- it's a really cheap solution, the pulleys have more friction than I'd like... again, not the best but I do this twice a year. Just make sure you use a way over powered hook properly anchored to a beam on the ceiling. The one I'm using (from Home Depot) is rated for 375 lbs... not designed for overhead lifting but the job didn't stress the setup at all. In fact my 5 yo daughter was able to hoist it.
Finally my wheels and tires are up and out of the way!! Thank you! ...looks cool too.
