Hi, I was wondering if the tire will wobble with this extender?

I haven't had any wobbling issues thus far. And I've taken mine rock crawling quite a few times. :-)

Thank you for your question. I personally did notice that when I would shut the tailgate with my 15X8 wheel and 33" tire the tire would wobble, so I would just hold the tire when I was shutting the tailgate and there was no problem (I really think it has something to do with our TJ model tailgate with the additional size and weight of the wheel/tire and not so much the mount, though being extended out an inch or so it may influence it as well). Now when I was driving on the road and trails I didn't notice any wobble or vibration coming from the mount, only when was shutting the tailgate. I hope this helps. Thank you for your question.

In short, no. I took the advice of some on the net and made extension stubs from the tailgate out of double sleeve rubber tubing from the hardware store. I'm not sure that this had much impact but the factory stubs were there for some reason and I assume to pad any vibration. I will add that the extension and larger tire did affect the Yakima bike rack. No matter what I did, the rack gave a noticeable bounce and noise over sharp bumps at speeds over 20 mph. It did not do this with the factory tire and attachment.

I had no problem at all. You can always buy some "spoons" to help mount the tires. They only cost a couple of dollars and I carry them in my bag in case I get a flat.

I had the legs flipped the wrong way. You have to make sure they're set so the "long" and the "short" sections (from the screw that secures them in the leg) are on opposite sides to increase stability. Not sure if that's what's causing your wobble. But it was my initial issue when setting it up.

I didn't try it with a car tire, but I am afraid it's not so strong. Thanks.

I think it will be too wobbly. The method it uses for securing the basket to the rack isn't strong enough.

My front tire was really hard to turn at first but it eventually loosened up. I am not sure about the shaking though - mine doesn't shake. I would call the company - it is too much money not to work properly.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

Maybe the tire needs to be tightened? not really sure. maybe you can call the company to find out

With it's mondular design you can expect it to be a little wobbly the one I have installed in my house was and works fine, it did get rigid because I mounted it on a stud :). No issues though and I like being able to expand it if needed. Only issue I had was that the valves would cut a small pice of plastic first time I used them, make sure you don't get pices of plastic stuck in your pipes and good luck with your installation!

I don't use it for that, but my guess would be no. I have seen other people say it doesn't work well with knobby tires. Maybe swap out the rear with a balloon tire?

Had it not been for your question, I would have never known that it wobbled, and I've had mine for over a year. I guess all I can say is as long as you followed the directions and use logical and appropriate weight distribution methods, the wobble should not be a concern.

Weight and tires won't be the problem however the width could be... may come close to the rear of vehicle. I also should point out the I use 7 straps with this it wobbles a bit so I strap the ends back to the hitch.

I have an RX 350 with an adapter and it works fine. But as noted, it wobbles regardless if you use an extension as noted by one of the responders.

If it is a normal trailer bumper then it will not interfere. I use the spare tire as an extra point to tie the bikes off to keep them on the rack.

Yes, mine wobbles but has never fallen over. It charges fine and works great.

I have not had it wobble. It is fairly stable. I rarely extent it all the way up. It would depend on the weight and lens size.

I wish i could say yes or no. Your model looks bigger then mine. To be honest since it was just one weight i never went to trouble of trying it on mine. I just bought some aggressive rear tire . sorry i am no help.
