I just got 31 X 10.5 15 Pirelli Scorpion ATs and really do not want anyone to steal them. I am going to get wheel locks, but what is the best way to secure the spare tire?

The following link (bottom on page) is what I am using on my 98. There is no drilling and it works great.

The page does say up to 98 but I don't think the spare tire cable and bracket changed.

russelb,
Sorry to get off the subject but, I am looking to purchase new tires in the 31X10.50 size (BFGoodrich). I have a couple of questions. What size do the Pirelli's measure (diameter)? How do they fit on your Xplorer? Do you have any lift? I currently have no lift and was hoping 31's will fit without rubbing.

Thanks in advance for the info,
Alan
98 Xplorer

I ended up going with a simple cable and lock. I bought the Master Lock that has a dust cap. Probably not the most secure solution, but economical and I know it will work. There are enough differences between the 98 and the 99 that I did not go with the locking bar that was suggested by Jim F. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
