Detour Tailbone
I'm looking for a tire carrier and I think I might go with the Detour Tailbone system.
Does anyone know why some of the images of the Detour Tailbone have slanty tires and some of them have straight tires? It's kind of confusing, since it's supposed to be the same product:
Basically, I just want to know what I'm getting. And there seems to be too many different variations on Google Images.

These only came with the straight one originally, and later the slant one was offered. I believe it is now buyer's choice on whether you want a straight or slant.

Note - the part that holds the tire is a piece of hitch steel that mounts with a couple of set bolts. So the slant vs straight will be a matter of a small part change rather than the entire carrier or anything. So, if you really wanted, you could try both.
