When you’re out on the trail, deep in the dirt, or high on the dunes, one thing is certain—anything can happen. That’s why carrying a spare tire is more than just a smart idea; it’s a necessity. Off-road adventures push your vehicle to the limit, and the last thing you want is to be stranded miles from help. Fortunately, mounting your spare tire doesn’t have to be bulky or complicated, thanks to smart solutions like the Polaris RZR spare tire mount and Can-Am X3 tire rack.
These rugged, thoughtfully engineered accessories give you peace of mind while adding functionality and style to your UTV. Let’s break down why every serious rider should consider adding one of these to their ride—and how Kemimoto has made it easier than ever.
Why a Spare Tire Mount is a Must-Have for Off-Roading
Let’s face it: flat tires happen. Whether it’s sharp rocks, sudden debris, or unexpected terrain, your tires take a beating off-road. A reliable spare tire mount lets you carry a backup securely without sacrificing space, visibility, or vehicle balance.
Instead of tossing a spare into your cargo area where it can roll around or get in the way, a dedicated mount keeps it firmly in place. Even better, with the right mount, you can still access your rear storage area and maintain a clean, professional look.
