Today we are going to show you the spare tire with five spoke rim for the Yakima Rack and Roll trailer part number Y08121. There are several accessories that Yakima offers for the Rack and Roll trailer. One of them is a spare tire and wheel. The Yakima spare tire is an exact match to the wheels and tires that came with the trailer. Yakima offers the spare tire as it is not always easy to find wheels and tires in this size. The spare tire includes mounting hardware so that you can attach it directly to frame of the Rack and Roll trailer. The spare tire also comes with a lifetime warranty. The spare tire can be mounted to the top or the bottom of the main support tube in the integrated channel. 00:42
To begin the installation we are going to the square headed bolts into the channel and slide them into position. We are going to take the mounting plate and slip it over the bolts. Once you have the bracket in to position you can tighten down the included nylon lock nuts. With the mounting plate in place all we have to do is set the spare tire on top of the plate and the long bolt, the washer, and the split lock washer through the wheel and start threading it into the mounting plate. With the wheel centered, tighten down the bolt. With the spare tire locked down all we have to do is install the hubcap. With the hubcap snapped in place that concludes the installation of the Yakima spare tire for the Rack and Roll trailer.

Tire kit includes a black hubcap and mounting hardware for attaching the tire to the center beam of your trailer frame.I ordered a replacement spare wheel for my Yakima Rack and Roll trailer. When I placed the order I knew the product was backordered. etrailer is the best company I have ever ordered from. They regularly sent me emails updating me on the shipping status of my order. I never had to scratch my chin and ponder what was going on with my wheel because they were keeping me in the loop the entire time. Also, the product was well packed for shipping. I even commented to my husband about the quality of the box. I really hope I need trailer parts in the future because this company was such a pleasure to work with. Finally, the wheel is excellent. Yakima makes wonderful products.
Quality spare wheel and tire. The only improvement that I would make is a built in lock but a bicycle lock works fine.
I was happy to get the exact wheel and tire for the Yakima trailer I purchased.
We have a trip coming up that involves great distances and we plan to take the Yakima trailer. As such, we wanted to have the insurance of a spare tire with us in case something happens along the way. The spare is complete with mounting hardware and replaces the entire assembly on the trailer.
I wanted a small multi-purpose trailer (suited for a canoe, bicycles, or camping storage) and it needed to be easily storable. This trailer from Yakima met all requirements nicely. The build quality is exceptional, as it should be for the price. No questionable design choices. All mechanical parts move smoothly where they should, and fit snugly where they should not. Electrical wiring snaps together neatly at various points, and for the most part is hidden within frame.
I like its storability best. It can be disassembled to various degrees depending on how out of the way you would like it to be. I keep it simple. I remove the tongue and roll the bulk of the trailer for storage inside my garage, under my wall mounted canoe. The roller blade wheels at the brake lights are a great feature for moving the trailer on end.
I mainly use it to transport a 15' 3" Old Town canoe that weighs about 90lbs. Too wide for my Subaru's roof racks, and none too easy getting it up there even if it could fit. This trailer solved that problem, and opened up additional transport arrangements. Because it has roof rack type cross bars, I can share rack equipment on the trailer or car's roof.
I rated 4 of 5 stars for three reasons: price, assembly, and mobility. The price was staggering. I think mostly due to the trailer's quality and storability. I enjoyed assembling the trailer. It required a couple of hours to do by myself. The etrailer video is the way to go. Instruction manual can be used for reference, such as torque requirements. I recommend a torque wrench, don't want to take any chances on road safety. At any rate, because I had to assemble I felt the price should not have been so high. Also, as shown in my photos, one of the shocks arrived upside down. The shocks are preinstalled and I did not have the proper tools to remove and flip it. For this type of shock that is not important. None the less, I called etrailer customer service to confirm and bring it up. Lastly, the mobility is not great. That is simply due to being 2-wheeled. Not easy to back this guy down to a boat ramp. With practice maneuvering it is getting easier.
Odds and ends:
I ordered the spare tire and kickstand as well. The kickstand is yet to arrive due to manufacturer delay, but I put the spare on easily enough. etrailer staff is quite good, as noted elsewhere. They have been keeping me posted on order delays, and offering help.
The trailer arrived kit-wise in large cardboard boxes. I was not happy to find them broken open in several places. That is a delivery concern. Luckily very little damage to trailer components.
I live in Texas, which requires a license plate. I also registered the trailer, although not required. Both were fairly straight-forward. etrailer sent me a Bill of Sales (separately through USPS). This, along with a filled form available from DOT website & a small fee was all that was needed to leave with trailer plate in hand (title arriving later in the mail).
The manual mentions the dangers of the license plate several times. When stored on the trailer's end, the plate protrudes outwards and could be a cutting hazard. This was solved very easily by purchasing a silicone license plate frame for about $5.
Later I ordered a ball mount and trailer wiring kit. The ball had to be installed separately, but the good folks at my local [business] helped with that, free of charge. Hooking up the wiring kit was a breeze. The etrailer video made it easy once again, and lucky for me, they used my car during the demonstration.
The tire appears excellent and was easy to install. The reason for the 4 stars is the box it came in was in terrible shape and had to be inspected to be sure the product was intact.

due to covid, china, the trumpeter, this spare wheel took 9 months. Happy to have it!
thanks,

Like most things Yakima produces...it was extremely easy to attach to the trailer and we now have no worries if an issue occurs while traveling!
I didn't want to worry about being stranded somewhere with a flat tire so I purchased peace - of - mind with the Y08121 spare tire and the frame attachment hardware. It attaches neatly to the Rack and Roll Trailer frame and complements the over all package.
This item should come with the roof rack trailer. It will be a must if I ever have a tire puncture. This tire size is unique and not easy to source while traveling. I have it mounted to my trailer in the event of a flat tire.
etrailer has good prices on Yakima accessories. The Yakima spare tire is going to give me peace of mind should I get a flat when towing my kayak trailer. Website is easy to use and is full of useful information. This is going to be my preferred place to shop. Thank you.
Great product, now no worries about a flat. First time doing business with Etrailer, easy and fast, great job!
Prompt service,good packaging, wheel as described .
We were pleased with the quick response and shipping for the tire we ordered from etrailer. We recommend this company.
I got Lots of boxes with items well packed . Assembly - take your time - manual is good and answers each step well. Parts are high quality and finished build is very satisfying. After I use it for a while I can say more.
I talked to several long term owners and both said No problems and satisfied.
Very happy with recent purchases from etrailer.com -friendly,professional, and a swift delivery
A spare is essential. This is an unusual size wheel and road services have difficulty fixing them. You may never need it but, you will be thankful that you have it if you get a flat. Delivered promptly and in perfect condition. Thanks.
