Tie Down Engineering Spare Tire Carrier 86069, Hot-Dip Galvanized, Fits 4-, 5-, and 6-Lug Wheels

The Tie Down Engineering Spare Tire Carrier (part number 86069) is a hot-dip galvanized, welded mount that holds a spare wheel and tire on a trailer frame so it is ready for a roadside change. The carrier is adjustable to fit 4-, 5-, and 6-lug wheels, making it a versatile choice for utility, boat, and cargo trailers that run different bolt patterns. Construction is welded for strength, and the hot-dip galvanized finish resists rust and corrosion from road spray and marine exposure, so the carrier holds up in the same wet, salty conditions the trailer itself sees.

Installation hardware is included: the 86069 ships with the bolts and lugs needed to mount the spare wheel to the carrier, so no separate hardware purchase is required for the mounting itself. This makes it a straightforward add-on for a trailer that currently has no spare tire mount, or a direct replacement for a worn-out or rusted-through carrier.
