I'm afraid I'm a couple of decades beyond thinking I'd be successful getting tires up onto a roof rack without something going wrong.

I stand them upright, tread-to-tread as in the photo below. The backseat area is just wide enough to do this. The pair in the back have the barrels towards the trunk area, and the pair in front have the barrels towards the front seats so the creeper's casters can sit inside them.
