ABSTRACT:
A lightweight stowable carrier for a tire of an automotive vehicle such as a truck or trailer comprises a plurality of straps, preferably formed of woven webbing. In a first embodiment, one set of straps has ratchet buckles for securing the tire to the carrier in encircling relationship. Another set of load-bearing straps is provided with cam buckles for length adjustment and hooks for securement to the underbody of a vehicle. All of the straps cross one another and are stitched at a common centerpoint. In a second embodiment, three separate straps are attached to the tire at points spaced around its circumference. Hooks attached to first ends of the straps are passed around the tire and through coupling links attached to opposite ends to form choker loops around the tire. Two of the straps are of fixed length and the third strap is adjustable in length.
