Which Three Bike Spare Tire Rack?

Chuck Carr has a Jeep Liberty and wants to carry three bikes, there are many spare tire racks on the market, so we give him a list of three racks that we think will sit him and give him our suggestions on two bike tire racks

Question: I want to buy a bicycle rack for my 2005 Jeep Liberty.

I prefer a spare tire mount, to secure 2 bikes (although 3 would be preferred). Bikes would generally be adult/male in style.

Please do you have recommendation/s?

Thank you!
Chuck.

Hi Chuck,
There are quite a few different spare tire racks; you say you would prefer a three bike rack, so here we list the three we think are the best. There are many on the internet and at very good prices, also try your local bike or sports shop as they will be able to advise you which you need for your Jeep and your bikes. I would suggest you measure up your spare tire before you buy anything on internet or check it out in a shop before you order. You can choose which one you think is best for you, your bikes and your Jeep Liberty.

The Proline TS 300 Spare Tire Rack

Thule and Hollywood make top quality two bike racks, if you can make do with a smaller one, but they don’t make any for three bikes, good luck with your choice.
