How many of you use a rear tire cover for your spare? Seems like a good way to trap in moisture to me...

If so, what's on your tire cover (which animal, etc.)?

 

They tend to rot in the weather.

 

A tire that is exposed to the elements will get "dry cracks".
Ever notice that RVer's use covers on their trailers and motorhomes when they are in storage?
Here is my tire cover.

 

I have a tire cover on that came with the vehicle but it's just the plain Land Rover green oval. When I do my lift and larger tires I am going to get a cover with a moose on it. I'm from Alaska and what animal is more Alaskan than a moose, except maybe a brown bear.

 

Spike! I do believe santa is leaving that exact one under my tree this year! You rarely see them around, thats why I like it.

And to the original poster, I think its nice to have a cover. I let it sit in the sun every once in a while because it will trap moisture. I think they are unique if you can find one you like.

 

I really want one from another country with the name and address of the local LR dealer.
I think one from Russia written in Russian would be really cool.
Anyone care to send me one? Any country other than the US with the local LR dealer name and address.

 

Spike i just saw one on ebay from England. Not very exotic but...

 

It would still be kinda cool.

 

haha throw the communist symbol on there along with a russian town and no one will mess with you.

 

i have the XD one that came with my rover but its pretty worn and now since i have bigger tires i dont think it will fit anymore...
