confused about tire covers

I want to buy some new tire covers to protect my tires when parked for long period. I have a 2015 Winnebago Sightseer.35G. It has standard Michelin 22 inch wheels.What size covers do I need? Do I measure the diameter from tread to tread? That puts me at the Xlarge size as I am over 3 feet. Can anybody help me out. I am confused by all the sizes.

    Protecting your tires from UV light is far more important than what you park on. It's hard to find any supporting evidence or advice about parking on concrete. Sorta like the old battery thing.


    I would strongly disagree with you. Not only does common sense tell us that concrete leeches whatever is placed upon it, even the tire manufacturers recommend something under your tires.
  • Watch Camping World for buy 1, get 1 free on tire covers. I purchased a set last October and saved a bunch. Unfortunately i purchased one set on Amazon the month prior so now I have an extra set.
  • Most of the ones i have seen have the tire size they fit on back of the box and you just match the number on the box with your tire size.

    I find rubber mud flaps work great for putting under the tires to keep from leeching moisture for the tires when parked on cement.

  • You have 22.5" rims and tires. There are many sizes of 22.5" tires and can have as much as 6" in diameter difference. Measure the overall diameter and order your covers.

  • Measure your tires diameter, outside edge to outside edge. That's what you order.
