Looking to mount a 285/55/20 tire on the roof, what do I need?

basket? straps? I want to do it right. I kinda want some sort of deflector too so things dont beat it up and wind doesnt constantly hit it. Im sure its not a major loss of MPG, but every bit counts!!! Any ideas?

PS: I WAS going to put some sort of cargo container up there that would fit a snowboard (in a bag), but I guess thats out now right? I cant see how that would work now. Unless I can fit a 285/55/20 nitto terra grappler under the back bumper which i highly doubt

the hulk to move it up & down.ha,ha. check out etrailer for parts.id suggest a cargo basket for the weight of it, they have some nice decent priced ones with deflectors. do a search on toyota120, theres a few guys on there that have em.
