I know there is some irony in the naming of this post, as most spare tire holders on trailers dont account for much security. My trailer has the spot designated toward the front around the crank where the tire would lay flat where the main trailer beams make the "V" and the spot has the vertical steel tab coming up with the hole in it to secure a chain/lock to.
is this the most "secure" place/method of spare tire placement?
i would hate to have a pricy tire/rim stolen because i didnt think to use a different method of securing the thing.
would it make more sense just to keep it locked up in the backseat of the truck?
