Built for Serious Tire Carriers: Heavy Duty 3-Point Spare Tie-Down That Holds 36 to 48 Inch Tires Securely
The SpeedStrap SSP26550 is a 2-inch heavy duty 3-point spare tire tie-down with swivel hooks, designed for securing oversized spare tires on Jeep tire carriers, truck beds, roof racks, and chase vehicle configurations. Each of the three points is fully adjustable, allowing the center ratchet to be positioned precisely for the tire diameter and carrier geometry in use. The swivel hooks are built to connect to almost any tab or rail regardless of orientation, including vertical tabs, horizontal rails, and round tube frames. The swivel hooks also detach if a soft-loop wrap configuration is preferred. The SSP26550 is constructed from 2-inch polyester webbing with a deluxe wide-grip ratchet mechanism and swivel hooks featuring built-in retention clips that prevent disconnection under load. Designed for Jeep, truck, and buggy spare tire applications fitting approximately 36 to 48 inch tire diameters.

About SpeedStrap
SpeedStrap designs and manufactures purpose-built tie-down systems for off-road, motorsport, and truck applications. The SSP26550 is part of SpeedStrap's Jeep and truck tie-down line, engineered for the heavier loads and irregular carrier configurations found on Jeep builds, chase trucks, and off-road race vehicles. SpeedStrap products are built to withstand repeated use in demanding environments where a failed tie-down can result in lost cargo or vehicle damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tire sizes does the SpeedStrap SSP26550 fit?The SSP26550 is designed for spare tire diameters approximately 36 to 48 inches. This covers most standard Jeep and truck oversize spare tire applications. For smaller tires below 36 inches, SpeedStrap makes alternative tie-down configurations.
Can the SSP26550 hooks be removed for a soft-loop installation?Yes. The swivel hooks on the SSP26550 are removable. If you prefer to wrap the strap ends around a tube frame or rail without using the hooks, the hooks can be detached and the strap ends looped back through the 3-bar adjuster for a clean frameless attachment.
Does the SSP26550 work on a roof rack spare tire mount?Yes. The adjustable attachment points and swivel hooks make the SSP26550 compatible with most roof rack tire carrier configurations including horizontal and vertical tab mounting. The swivel function allows the hooks to connect regardless of tab orientation.
How many units does the SSP26550 include?The SSP26550 is sold individually as one complete 3-point tie-down assembly. One unit is typically sufficient to secure a spare tire on a standard Jeep tire carrier or truck bed mount.
Will the SSP26550 work on a bumper-mounted spare tire carrier?Yes. The SSP26550 is designed for Jeep, truck, and buggy tire carrier applications which includes bumper-mounted carriers. The 3-point design and adjustable attachment points allow it to adapt to the geometry of most bumper carrier designs.
What is the working load of the SSP26550?SpeedStrap builds the SSP26550 from 2-inch polyester webbing with a heavy-duty ratchet mechanism for high-load spare tire applications. For specific working load and maximum rated capacity specifications, verify current load ratings with SpeedStrap directly.
Can the SSP26550 be used for cargo tie-down other than spare tires?The SSP26550 is specifically designed for spare tire securing applications with its 3-point Y-strap configuration. For general cargo tie-down, SpeedStrap offers dedicated single-strap cargo tie-down products better suited to securing flat or box-shaped loads.
Does the SSP26550 include retention clips on all hooks to prevent unhooking?Yes. All swivel hooks on the SSP26550 include built-in retention clips that prevent the hook from backing off an attachment point under load or vibration. This is a key safety feature for spare tire applications where vibration during off-road driving could otherwise cause hooks to walk off attachment tabs.
Installation Instructions
- Mount the spare tire to the carrier in the normal position.
- Route the center point of the SSP26550 over or behind the top of the tire tread.
- Adjust the three strap lengths to position the center ratchet where you want it, typically above or centered on the tire.
- Connect the three swivel hooks to the carrier attachment tabs. Engage the retention clip on each hook.
- Ratchet the center assembly to tension the strap evenly across all three attachment points until the tire is held firmly without movement.
- Verify all retention clips are fully engaged and the tire does not shift before driving.
Body Armor & Protection
Body armor and underbody protection shields your truck or SUV from trail damage and road debris.

Popular ProductsTop body armor products include steel rock sliders, aluminum skid plates, differential covers, transfer case guards, and fuel tank skid plates. Brands like ARB, Rough Country, and Skid Row are popular for full-coverage protection systems. What body armor do I need for off-road driving?For trail driving, start with rock sliders for rocker panel protection, then add a full skid plate kit covering the oil pan, transfer case, and fuel tank. A differential guard is also recommended for crawling over rocks. Does body armor add a lot of weight?Steel body armor adds more weight but provides maximum protection, while aluminum options cut weight by 30-40% while still shielding against trail hazards.

Cargo Tie-Downs
Cargo tie-downs keep loads secured during transport on trucks, trailers, and flatbeds. Proper tie-down selection depends on load weight, anchor point locations, and the type of cargo being secured. Using the right strap or ratchet system prevents load shifts that can cause damage or road hazards. Popular Upgrades The most popular options include ratchet tie-down straps for heavy loads requiring maximum tensioning, cam buckle straps for lighter cargo and fragile items, E-track and L-track cargo rail systems for enclosed trailers, and heavy-duty axle straps for securing vehicles on flatbeds and car haulers. Ratchet straps are the most versatile choice for general truck and trailer hauling. Are cargo tie-downs rated for highway speeds? Yes. The cargo tie-downs we carry are designed and rated for use at highway speeds and meet Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration working load limit standards. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for load ratings and anchor point usage to ensure ...
