tire size question BFG K/O2 for 100 series

[geanes]

It's the Thule T2 with a 2 bike extension. IMHO it's the only rack worth having, and I ride a lot. Since these are also some good shots of the truck and the tires I'll call these pics relevant. View attachment 1469886 View attachment 1469887

@runnerfan ... how does the cruiser handle with 4 bikes back there? I have the Yakima version of your Thule (Holdup) and just got the +2 attachment. I'll have up to 4 adult bikes (2 roadies and 2 mtb) when I head up to CO in 3 weeks.

Thanks. Love the kids dust dwgs btw.

So from my thumb measurement on my screen those are evenly spaced? More to the point it'll take 4 adult bikes?

Yes, evenly spaced. If you set up the trays correctly it'll take 4 adult bikes no problem. You just to offset the trays from center so the handle bars don't hit the seat of the other bike, etc

Runnerfan, Is that an oem hitch or aftermarket? Can you fit a 275/70/18 spare with the hitch in place?

oem hitch. Not sure on the spare, still have the stock wheel down there with stock spare from the dealer! It looks like there is space but can't be sure until you try. Because I'm going PT I will be able to run the spare in the front with the hubs unlocked and not worry about the tire size. Of course this is stupid and not very smart but it will get me out of a jam if I need to drive a bit on the spare. If a rear goes flat I'll have to swap the spare to the front, then move that tire to the rear. It'll suck.

I can't even feel the bikes back there, cruiser doesn't seem to care at all. Just remember you've got 6 extra feet when you back up or turn.
