Will use with care
Ekatalin: 
The wheel fork tire mount is okay. We love our Yakima roof rack and wanted to be able to store the tires up there as well as they get muddy quite often. The first problem was that the mounts have to go in between the two bike holders, meaning that I cannot put my wheel up there from the ground. Either I have to climb up the car or my boyfriend can reach. So placement was a bit of a problem, getting 2 bikes & 2 tires on top of a Saturn. They are also not lockable as far as I can see, so that's a risk. Lastly, they're not the most sturdy. We have them pretty tight but sometimes they slide backwards on the round bars. Yesterday that happened on the highway & the wheel came off & hit the car behind us. Luckily no damage or accidents, but needless to say I likely won't use it again on the highway unless I am 100% sure it's safe. Not sure if that was our faulty securing of the wheel or the product design, and I will use it for when I ride locally and get the bike muddy, but we are a lot more careful with it now.
No more muddy trunk space
Backcountry Reviewer - Cheatwood: 
The perfect accessory to go with your Boa or similar bike mount. I dont know about you, but I dont really want my muddy tire inside my car with methis is a totally secure way to store the dirty tire on the OUTSIDE of the carwhere dirt really belongs! This thing even comes with an anti-spin device that helps eliminate the noise that comes when you dont have one equipped!
Good product
Reprobate:
Good product, secures the wheel very strongly if you properly adjust the quick release.
Yakima Fork Tire Wheel Mount
Dave Krosch:
The product itself is great. Far improved over past models with both the stop that keeps the wheel secure and the device which keeps the wheel from spinning. That said I wish the website would have had dimensions for the mount. With two bike mounts and one kayak mount on top of my Xterra, I had a hard time fitting them (I bought two) on because they were wider than I expected. Anyway, excellent product. Just make sure you have room on top for the product.
Good Service, Quick Shipping
