Hi Tim,

        I did call the folks at FAS in Maine.  they seem like great folks.  The carrier they have on the web that you told me about doesn't actually exist yet.  They are still working on getting it into production.  So I opted for the one that other's were using.

Mark,  are you using 205/70/14 tires in the carrier with no additional supports, or a bigger tire that fits snugly?
