Carrying tyres.
I need to pick some up and I was going to do it with the bike... any tips. I was thinking of making a little frame to help hook them on my Rentec rack but I hoping some has done it before and I can just steal that idea.

Around the waist????
Stack them one on top of the other, secure them together and bungee them down to the pillion seat. |

I was thinking that... I know it seem obvious but I had this sense I was missing something.

Re: Carrying tyres.
If it is not too far, round the waist hula-hoop style works a treat!!
I've tried strapping them to the back seat/rail, but all it does is distract you as you are constantly reaching back checking they are still there ... at least round the waist this is never an issue |

Re: Carrying tyres.
Round the waist esp. as I believe you are doing them one at a time. But hang on! this is Grinch, and they are only 17 inch tyres. What's Pie times 17?

Re: Carrying tyres.
Plus of course Grinch has his own permanent spare tyre round his waist

Re: Carrying tyres.
Duct tape the two tyres together, then strap them down onto the pillion seat. I managed to carry 2 tyres and a paddock stand this way, so just 2 tyres should be easy.
