The 7 Best Spare Tire Bike Racks

Updated February 06, 2019 by Brett Dvoretz

This wiki has been updated 21 times since it was first published in January of 2019. Traditional bike racks often won't fit SUVs and other vehicles that have an extra wheel mounted on the back. Rather than deal with trying to lift a large and unwieldy bicycle onto a roof rack, you can get one of these handy models. They quickly slip onto your spare tire and, depending on the type, can accommodate two or three cycles. Many also have security features to keep your cargo safe. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

February 03, 2019:

The most important thing for a bike rack, no matter whether it is mounted on a spare tire or directly on the vehicle, is that it be capable of holding your bicycles securely in place as your drive. For that reason, we discounted any models that didn't seem stable or which we felt could potentially allow a bike to slip off in some manner. After that, we did our best to include options in a variety of styles and prices.

A wandering writer who spends as much time on the road as in front of a laptop screen, Brett can either be found hacking away furiously at the keyboard or, perhaps, enjoying a whiskey and coke on some exotic beach, sometimes both simultaneously, usually with a four-legged companion by his side. He has been a professional chef, a dog trainer, and a travel correspondent for a well-known Southeast Asian guidebook. He also holds a business degree and has spent more time than he cares to admit in boring office jobs. He has an odd obsession for playing with the latest gadgets and working on motorcycles and old Jeeps. His expertise, honed over years of experience, is in the areas of computers, electronics, travel gear, pet products, and kitchen, office and automotive equipment.
