What is claimed is: 1. A foreign matter removing device for removing foreign matter caught in a space between tires of a double tire which is mounted on a hub of a vehicle, said device comprising: a foreign matter removing member interposed in the space between tires of the double tire such that a tip end portion of the foreign matter removing member is positioned behind the hub in a traveling direction of the vehicle; wherein a width, in the traveling direction of the vehicle, of at least a widened portion of the tip end portion of the foreign matter removing member is larger than a distance, along a diameter of the double tire, from an outer peripheral portion of the hub to an outer peripheral portion of a rim of the double tire. 2. The foreign matter removing device according to claim 1, wherein the foreign matter removing member is suspended from a base end portion thereof, which is mounted at a mounting portion that is at an upper position in a vertical direction with respect to the tip end portion, into the space between tires of the double tire; and wherein the foreign matter removing member has a length such that a height of the tip end portion is lower than a height of a center of the hub when a distance in the vertical direction from the mounting position to the center of the hub is at a maximum. 3. The foreign matter removing device according to claim 1, wherein the widened portion of the tip end portion is provided at least partially below a top portion of the hub in a vertical direction. 4. The foreign matter removing device according to claim 2, wherein the widened portion of the tip end portion is provided at least partially below a top portion of the hub in a vertical direction.
