Abstract: Apparatus for wheel lift towing vehicles for supporting the tires of a vehicle to be lifted and towed thereby includes a tire support cradle having front and rear support members for respectively engaging the front and rear surfaces of a tire of the vehicle to be towed. The front and rear members include an auxiliary foot in the form of a plate which is selectively connected to the members when operative or removed when inoperative for storage. Each plate when connected to the support members is disposed at an angular inclination for providing a support surface for engaging and aiding in supporting a respective surface of the tire. The rear plate may be connected after the rear support member has been positioned behind the tire beneath a low ground clearance disabled vehicle so that no interference with the vehicle occurs.
