    Fixing tyre to roof rack

    Hi,
    I have managed to get my tyre on the roof and have fixed it with those rhino straps but was interested in the j bolts.

    I had a look at the j bolts from rhino but both size seem to be to small.

    I don't think you can flip the tyre over either.

    Does anyone know if the large rhino will fit or of another brand which does for a 19" rim

    Thanks in advance,
    Richard

    Hello again Richard.
    I had the wheel tied to the rack with 3 cam-buckle straps.
    That way, if one failed, there were still 2 holding the wheel down.
    Cheers

    Thanks a lot to all above. I have the 3 strap rhino one

    After a lot of effort in the cold I have ended up not taking it. I did find I could get the tyre off myself though.

    The reason for not taking it is very technical

    Some one said they did not want to go driving around with a wheel on the roof and if I did I would be "technically" in hell.😀

    But next time.

    Richard

    Happy wife, happy life.

    All that angst and worry, Richard, and it comes down to that.

    I'll bet you can't wait to get 2 flats, then you'll have the last laugh!
