Smart Car Spare Tire Mount

[KarenS]

Sounds great to me, especially if it was painted to match the car!

I think I would rather have the spare mounted up front. Rear access to the smart for me is every day. I check fluids once a week and a rear tire mount would be a pain. Perhaps the tow hook up at front could be utilized, along with the driver side to place a tire support. Maybe ugly, but practical.

And exactly what I have had in my mind since this subject came up last Summer in a conversation....Making it swing away would be a nice feature to allow dropping the tailgate without dismounting the tire.
Yes, this would be a beautiful thing to have on a road trip...just in case.

Hogger, is this what you had in mind =)

I think it looks better in the back especially with a swing away design

I agree Karen, it looks better on the back, but on the other hand you don't get that interesting "tug boat" appearance ha ha =)
