I know my 31" A/T fit and it seems a few others' did too. It was really tight, but it fit. Really glad I have the carrier now though - frees up a lot of space! A 31" M/T won't fit due to the tread lugs being a little larger than the A/T.

Here's a cool write up I found awhile back. Should help with your problem.

Only difference is it's opposite cause his was right hand drive.

Like I said, a M/T won't, but a A/T will

Mine is secured with a ratchet strap, if its tight no noise. Not that I can really tell with all the other squeaks and rattles from the tool box, parts and HiLift that are also back there.
