PURPOSE: Spare tire withdrawal structure of a split tail gate is provided to easily take out a spare tire by making the spare tire lifted up via a wire assembly when a lower gate is opened. CONSTITUTION: A wire assembly consists of two long main wires placed parallel to each other and many short sub-wires connected with the main wires. Flat round fixing rings(4) are formed on one ends of the main wires, while hooks(5) are formed on the other ends of the main wires. A spare tire(7) is received in a storage case(6). The spare tire is placed while the wire assembly is placed on the bottom of the storage case. The rest part of the wire assembly is placed on the spare tire while covering the spare tire. A luggage board(8) covers the spare tire. To take out the spare tire, the luggage board is kept in the open state by using the hooks and the fixing rings. Upon pulling a lower gate(13), the wire assembly is pulled and the spare tire is lifted up while rotating counterclockwise. When the lower gate is opened fully, the spare tire is stood up. Therefore, the spare tire is taken out easily.
