    a pair of substanially vertical, flexible plastic tubular posts upstanding from said tire upper sidewall portion with the lower end portion of each post being received in one of said aperture means;

    said pair of posts in their unflexed condition being substantially straight and upwardly diverging away from the principal axis of said tire in a substantially symmetrical manner;

    a cross structural member having a pair of laterally spaced vertically extending tubular-like connector formations thereon, each said connector formation telescoped over a portion of an associated one of said posts such that said cross structural member extends between said posts above said base;

    said cross structural member having a predetermined major dimension between its connector formations such that said member continually flexes the free upper end portions of said posts inwardly into substantial parallelism whereby said connector formations are frictionally retained on said posts; and
