It’s snug
There’s just 30# of air in there now
To fit in the cavity, the tire needs to be nearly flat
Then once in the location with struts attached I add air to make it tight
Believe me, it does not move

To remove I will need to reduce air pressure so that it can flex enough.
I carry an air compressor

Again, with any luck it will never be removed.
