ABSTRACT:
A container is adapted to contain a spare tire therein. The container includes a substantially planar member and a wall forming a substantially perpendicular angle with the substantially planar member. The container is adapted to be fastened to an underside of a vehicle such that the substantially planar member is substantially adjacent the underside of the vehicle and the wall extends downwardly from the substantially planar member. A seal is adapted to be positioned between the substantially planar member and the underside of the vehicle. An aperture in the substantially planar member is adapted for a spare tire support member to extend downwardly through the substantially planar member from the underside of the vehicle and into the container. A covering member is configured to cover an open end of the container opposite of the substantially planar member. At least two elastic straps are attached to the wall of the container, and the covering member includes at least two strap retainers configured to retain the straps such that the covering member is held to the container.
