UTV Spare Tire Mounts and Carriers

Spare Tire Carriers and Mounts Designed for Off-Road

Getting a flat tire on the trail is not an emergency if you carry a spare. The issue is that most stock UTVs give you nowhere to put one. That is where spare tire mounts come in. These mounts attach to your cage tubing, rear bumper, or roof to hold a full-size spare wheel and tire so it travels with your machine instead of staying back at camp. Fueled UTV stocks spare tire mounts and carriers from brands like Factory UTV, DRT Motorsports, Trinity Racing, CageWRX, Razorback Offroad, HMF, and Polaris across a wide range of popular UTVs. RZR XP riders will find multiple carriers built specifically for that platform. Can-Am Maverick X3 owners have strong options too, including dual clamp and above-the-roof styles from Factory UTV and a full tire carrier and rear bumper system from DRT Motorsports. Cage-clamp designs are a common choice because they mount directly to existing roll bar tubing without drilling into your frame. Rear bumper carrier combos handle added weight better on machines running large, heavy tires. Select the mount type and machine that fits your setup.

Spare tire carriers vary in how they carry the weight and where they position the tire on the vehicle. A rack-style mount on the rear of the cage spreads load across multiple clamp points. A pivoting spare tire carrier lets you swing the tire out of the way for bed access. Above-the-roof mounts keep the spare high and out of the way, though added top-end weight is a trade-off to factor in for machines that already push handling limits off-road. Before purchasing, check that the carrier is designed for your tire size and wheel diameter. Many mounts are built for a specific machine, so fitment matters. Use the filter to sort by brand and model to ensure the one you order is the right fit for your UTV.

FAQ

What types of UTV spare tire mounts are available?

The most common options are cage clamp mounts, rear bumper integrated carriers, rack-style mounts, and above-the-roof carriers. Each attaches to a different part of the vehicle and handles weight differently, so the right choice depends on your machine, tire size, and riding style.

Do spare tire carriers fit any UTV or are they machine-specific?

Most UTV spare tire mounts are designed for a specific vehicle. A carrier built for the RZR XP will not necessarily fit a Can-Am Maverick X3 without modification. Always confirm fitment before you order. The product listings on this page call out the exact machine each mount is designed for.

Can a spare tire mount handle oversized tires?

Some carriers are built to handle oversized tires, and several brands offer options rated for larger wheel and tire combinations. Check the product specs for the maximum tire size the mount is designed to carry before purchasing, especially if you are running wheels larger than stock.

What is the difference between a cage mount and a rear bumper carrier?

A cage clamp mount attaches to your roll bar tubing using clamps. A rear bumper carrier is typically a full system that replaces or integrates with your rear bumper and carries the spare at the back of the vehicle. Bumper carriers often handle heavier tires better and provide a more rigid connection to the machine.

Are spare tire mounts on RZR Pro models different from standard RZR XP mounts?

Yes. The RZR Pro XP, RZR Pro R, and RZR XP use different cage geometry and rear-end configurations, so the mounts are not interchangeable. Polaris and aftermarket brands like DRT Motorsports make carriers specific to each platform. Filter by your exact model to find the right option.

How do I know which mount is the right choice for my machine?

Use the sort and filter tools at the top of the collection to narrow results by your vehicle. You can also call the Fueled UTV team at 509-406-7192 and ask which options we see ordered most for your specific machine. The team can help you choose and check order status or answer questions before you commit.

Do spare tire mounts require drilling or welding to install?

Most cage clamp mounts are installed without any drilling or cutting. They use hardware that tightens around existing roll bar tubing. Some rear bumper carrier systems require removing the stock bumper and bolting in the new unit, which is typically a bolt-on process as well. Check each product description to confirm what the install requires.
