It is cool, really. My cool factor went up by 10% when I put the tire on the roof.
Actually, I put my 33" spare on the roof because it takes up too much room in the cargo area. There's no chance my wife could get the 55lb spare out of the cargo area, off the roof, off a tire carrie or from under the X, so where it is doesn't really matter. I have no problem removing it from the roof and/or putting it back up there.
I personally think it looks super hillbilly having the tire on the roof, but until a rear tire carrier is the top item on my list (it's about number 7 or so on the list), it stays on the roof.
