BEST TIRE CARRIER
I had purchased another name brand and had ran with it for a while, but the weight and functionality was becoming a concern, got turned on to the GR brand, and initially the sticker price tripped me up, but when I read more about the product and its over all functionality as compared to the current system I had, the sticker shock fell into the category of smart choice, for weight and for functionality as well as durability. 3/16 Alum if hit will absorb and take a heck of a beating. This RTC is amazing, and if I had to do it all over again, I would make the jump to Genright the FIRST time.

Top of the line tire carrier
I looked at other tire carriers, they all rattled or worse saw them open by themselves on the trail. This one has 4 points that are rubber mounted and 2 self-locking pins to keep it closed. East to open and quiet!
