    Yes, the doorframes aren't really up to the weight, nor are
    two hinges really adequate to the load. Many folks add a
    third hinge at the center (to the box or roof) to add some
    loadbearing capability.

    THe other problem is that a tyre there is going to mess
    with the usability of a hitch and other things (like
    breakover angle).

    Put it on the bonnet where it belongs! <grin>.
