Will the straps wear against the roof rack tube paint if they are tight enough? and what size tire would the webbing hold? will the webbing bottom out on the roof with the spare? and will the spare tire shift around even if properly secured?
It should not wear the paint on the roof rack any more than a Mighty Mount would.
It will hold a tire up to the width of the rack, which is about 34 inches.
The webbing did not bottom out with my 80 lb. toolbox up there, and a tire has a much bigger footprint to spread the weight around.
Shifting of the tire will depend on how well you secure it.
