However, when an energy absorber is used, it is expensive, and the ability to absorb collision energy is insufficient just by using an energy absorber or a shock absorber. Even when a spare tire is used, the collision energy is not well absorbed by the spare tire. In other words, the spare tire disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-5453 moves significantly when a collision occurs, cannot fully exhibit its energy absorption ability, and the overall structure is complicated and expensive. Furthermore, the spare tire disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-23321 has a problem in that it cannot demonstrate its energy absorbing ability until the spare tire storage section is damaged.
