Understanding the Rear Tyre Carrier Mount on Your Vehicle

Can You Add Extra Mounts or Carriers to Your Rear Tyre Carrier?

The rear tyre carrier mount on your vehicle is an important feature that provides extra storage for your spare tyre. The mount is designed to hold the tyre securely in place, preventing it from bouncing or shifting during travel. However, one common question that arises among vehicle owners is whether additional mounts or carriers can be added to the rear tyre carrier.

At this time, only a second tyre can be optioned for the rear tyre carrier mount. The mount is not designed to support other types of carriers, such as Gerry cans or wood baskets. Attempting to attach these items to the rear tyre carrier is not recommended and may compromise the stability and handling of your vehicle, leading to potential safety hazards.

If you choose to add a second tyre to the rear carrier mount at a later date, it is important to note that the wall will already be reinforced to accommodate this option. This reinforcement ensures that the mount can safely support the weight of the extra tyre without compromising the integrity of your vehicle.

It is also important to ensure that your vehicle is rated to carry the extra weight of a second tyre. Overloading your vehicle with excessive weight can lead to potential safety issues while driving.
