Claim:
A tire-unloading ramp comprising: a front member and a back member; wherein the front member includes a front outer surface configured to enable a tire to be rolled down said front member thereby aiding in unloading a stack of tires; wherein the back member is not configured to enable a tire to be rolled down said rear member; wherein the front member is further defined with a front inner surface and the front outer surface; wherein the front member is further defined with a first front distal end and a second front distal end forming a front length; wherein the back member is further defined with a back inner surface and a back outer surface; wherein the back member is further defined with a first back distal end and a second back distal end forming a back length; wherein the front length of the front member is greater than the back length of the back member; wherein the front member and the back member are generally planar objects; wherein a hinge member is included and connects the front member to the back member; wherein the hinge member connects to the second back distal end of the back member as well as to the second front distal end of the front member; wherein the hinge member enables the front member and the back member to form a member acute angle there between; wherein the front member forms a front acute angle with respect to a ground surface whereas the back member forms a back obtuse angle with respect to the ground surface; wherein the hinge member is located at an apex; wherein the front outer surface includes a plurality of traction members thereon; wherein the traction members are oriented at a traction member angle along the front outer surface; wherein the traction members are generally parallel with one another, and are equally spaced along the front length.
