The cradle has a bottom wall and opposed spaced parallel side walls to receive a vehicle wheel therein. A pivotal rear ramp is secured to the rear axle and has a first inclined ramp section to permit the vehicle wheel to enter the cradle. The rear ramp also has a second ramp section which is actuable by the load of the vehicle wheel to cause the first plate section to pivot upward to an arresting position. The rear ramp is constructed such that when in the loading position, it causes the rear wheel to be wedged off the ground support surface. The rear ramp is provided to prevent displacement to Flat Tire Buddy when a vehicle wheel is driven in or out of the cradle over the pivotal rear ramp. At the rear of Flat Tire Buddy there are two stopper levers which stop Flat Tire Buddy from moving forward when mounting onto the cradle.
