ABSTRACT:
A removable tire caddy and method of use for providing convenient access and manipulation of a vehicle-mounted spare tire. The removable tire caddy includes a wheeled carriage frame designed to support a tire on at least two wheels. In the center of the carriage is a structure for engaging a cable of a spare tire lift-and-carry apparatus that extends or retracts to move the spare tire and wheeled carriage between a release position and a storage position under the vehicle. When the carriage is disengaged from the cable, the user is able to move the tire about easily as the weight of the tire and carriage are borne by the wheels.
