Actually, the Vanagon radiator is very efficient, and as long as the
cooling system is in good condition I doubt that a spare tire would
cause any problems, even with a cover.  In my temperate climate the fan
never comes on (and I have checked it), and the hose leaving the
radiator is cool to the touch.  I'd like to see someone lash a spare
tire on the front who lives in a hot climate and report on any problems.

Any volunteers?
