How long can I keep my 35" tire on the stock tire carrier?

We just installed 7036s with 35" BFG KO2s (C load range). I believe the wheels are 31 lbs and the tires are 65 lbs, so about 96-97 lbs.

We don't have a HD tire carrier yet, so they put the spare on the stock carrier. How long before I run the risk of it failing?

No offroading planned until we can get the HD carrier, just daily driving around town.

All kinds of Jeeps around here running 35+ on stock carrier's. If you are in "pavement princess" mode you should be fine for a while.

Not sure what your plans are but I'll speak up, my wife drives the twin to your hyper green. We put the Teraflex carrier on hers while my JK has the Rugged Ridge - I recommend TF!

When you close your tailgate, watch how much the tire vibrates. I added radiator hose over the bumpstops to help secure the tire better. Running 35" BFG KM2s (94lbs) on a stock carrier for over a year now on and off road.
