Default 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.

Sorry they do not, a bit of duct tape should do the job.

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

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?

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.
