Product Description The XP 2 Bike Tire Mount Rack incorporates the same individual rotating cradles used in the entire XP line. The big advantage of this model is designed for vehicles with offset-mounted tires to better position the bikes to the center of the rear of the vehicle. Not Compatible with Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4 "up to 2005" and Jeep Liberty use Swagman model # 64921.

NOT what i expected! July 6, 2008 Marvin A. Wiersch (Reno, NV USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
You would think this would fit oversized tires, especially since it's a spare tire mount, but it doesn't nor does it have an extension plate that I can/could find. The plate also fits strangly on to my spare, at a strange angle that give the mount about 20-30 degrees of swival. you'd think it should of been a bit more semetrically applicable for stability. Since I wansn't able to mount it I didn't find out if it would be stable or not but it looked as if with enough jolting (4x4) it would swival to the left and off center the rack. if there were an extension plat I'd give it a 3-star.
The end result is good April 21, 2008 Book Lover XYZ 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Our experience with this bike rack is rather bumpy. But with patience and persistence from Swagman and from eager customers (us) the end result is very good. br / br /We have a Toyota Rav4 2007 and had hard time to find a spare tire mounted bike rack. As far as I know, only Swagman has made special replacement back plate to fit our car and offered it for free when we purchased a Swagman XP 2 Bike Tire Mount from any vendor. We ended up buying from Bike Nashbar via Amazon. When the bike rack (from Bike Nashbar) and the replacement back plate (from Swagman) arrived we found the rack did not have firm contact points on the spare tire as the instructions advised. We contacted Swagman again and they immediately sent two shims that solved the problem. Now we have probably the first working tire mounted bike rack on a Toyota Rav4 2007 in the United States and are very happy. I thank Swagman, especially its knowledgeable and patient contact person, for helping us though.
