I assume you are planning to use a jack to raise the wheel with the flat?

The creeper concept is ok, but the first problem is the weight. You need
to expect 1000 lb per wheel for a single (Bonanza). Sure, the passengers
will be out, but the plane may be full of fuel and baggage.

The wheels on a creeper or on the dollies sold at Home Depot are another
issue. Even if they could take the weight, they are just too small for
cracked taxiways.
