Abstract: A spare tire storage bracket assembly for safely securing a spare tire under a vehicle includes a main member designed to be coupled to a selectively extendable and retractable cable of a vehicle. The main member includes a pair of outer portions designed to be positioned to engage a lip around a central opening of a rim of a spare tire of the vehicle. An attachment assembly holds the main member against the spare tire whereby the main member is prevented from being passed through the central opening. The attachment assembly includes a plate member that has a pair of apertures. The attachment assembly further includes a pair of screws, each of the screws includes a head portion and a threaded portion, and the threaded portion of each of the screws is insertable through an associated one of the apertures. The apertures are positioned such that the threaded portions are inserted through the attachment holes in the rim of the spare tire when the plate member is positioned adjacent the rim of the spare tire.
