In general, vehicle tires are heavy and difficult to handle. A simple tire handling device includes a U-shaped horizontal frame with wheels on the front end and casters on the rear end thereof and a post on the rear end of the frame with a pair of vertically aligned arms pivotally connected thereto for carrying a horizontal, generally U-shaped tire support frame between the sides of the main frame, the top arm extending rearwardly beyond the post and defining a lever with a handle on the rear end thereof for raising and lowering the tire support frame. The lever can be replaced by a piston/cylinder combination for raising the support frame. Wings can also be provided on the sides of the main frame for facilitating loading of a tire onto the support frame and for stabilizing the tire once in position on the support frame.
