I see you used some cardboard next to the tire - Nice idea!

I've put the cardboard on each side, and then wrapped the tires themselves with a tarp to protect them from UV.

The drywall just compresses and crumbles to dust.

Thanks I get what you mean now.

...And 2 years later I"m finally putting one of these up. Will take pics when done.

Pro Stock John · 08-14-2016, 09:14 PM

I like. Easy install. Might buy another one.

Grats! Yeah. They've very nicely made.

How many wheels/tires you guys put in them? I have 5, thinking 4 might be better?

I've had as many as 6, currently 4.

I went with the model from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pretty easy install.

It's the same thing.

JimE · 09-08-2016, 03:01 PM

It doesn't have the "tire rack" stickers!

And yes, I assumed as much from the photos.

jrhagen · 09-08-2016, 04:43 PM

Do the stickers add capacity?

JimE · 09-09-2016, 02:55 PM

They are extra mass, so they actually reduce the capacity.
