Tie Down Engineering Spare Hub and Tire Carrier, Pre-Greased 5-Lug Hub, Fits 1.750 in., 1-1/16 in. And 1-3/8 in. Spindles (86079)

The Tie Down Engineering Spare Hub and Tire Carrier (86079) mounts a spare trailer hub and tire together for secure, ready-to-go roadside storage. It includes a pre-greased 5-lug hub with bearings already installed, so there is no separate bearing pack or hub assembly to buy or grease before mounting. The hub fits 1.750 in., 1-1/16 in., and 1-3/8 in. Spindles, giving it broad compatibility across common trailer axle sizes. Construction is heavy-duty zinc-plated steel, which resists corrosion from road spray and marine/trailer environments and holds up to repeated loading and unloading of a spare wheel and tire. A security hole is built into the carrier so an optional cable and lock can be run through it, discouraging theft of the spare while trailering. The carrier is sized to fit trailer frames up to 3 in. Wide and 4 in. High. Overall product dimensions are 16.25 x 7 x 7 inches, and the unit weighs 19 pounds as shipped. This is a straightforward bolt-on accessory for trailer owners who want a dedicated, mounted spare rather than a loose hub and tire rattling around in a truck bed or storage box.
