Hopefully I'll be bolting my hoist onto my roof rack this weekend.
Its only designed to lift 50kg max ,and as such has a weak spot in it
if you exceed, Been working on and off for years on this. My hoist weighs in 13kg
and will lighter on later ones.
Put tyre carcus on roof pack it with stuff you use infrequently ( spares) and take tyre pliers, tube etc, don't just take a tube as often the tyre is destroyed
This is a good example of dangerous tyre

Yep I do the same, spare parts, hoses, tyre pliers, exhaust jack, filters, special tools I may only need in an emergency all go within the carcass and I have a roof bag that fits a 35" tyre perfectly. On the Simpson crossing I had all that and a pair of rear trailing arms in the bag. Worked great.
I also use the spare to help lift it up there.
I just carry gaffa tape works a treat !

Having had one hernia repair, plus the experience of trying but failing to lift a heavy tyre onto a roofrack by myself, all I can say is “find an alternative”
