A spare tire storage apparatus which pivots about a pivot point near the bumper of a vehicle and simultaneously pivots up or down between ground level and frame level on the vehicle. Vertical pivoting is accomplished by a cam roller following a cam surface as horizontal pivoting occurs. The spare tire is latched in the storage position by having a roller roll up a pivotable ramp, passing the ramp pivot point, causing the ramp to pivot upwardly, trapping the roller.
