Tire covers

I too utilized them once and did not find that they made any difference in a set of tires that would be timed out at 7-8 years. I still had cracks in the side walls at 7-8 years. My experience with them would be identical to "hipower".

What did you get?

Thanks to all. My new tire covers arrived today. McD

Those who like them and use them swear by them. Those who don't like them and don't use them swear at them.

My experience over 45 years of RV ownership along with many other utility and cargo type trailers and using 7-10 years as an average lifespan for tires based on age and overall condition I have used them on one coach and found no difference in tire life or cracking. I've never made any special effort to protect or treat the tires and never had any failures that could be attributed to doing so.

If you like and believe in them use them, if not don't.

The purpose for the covers is to protect the tires against the sun and it's UV damage. If covered, there can't be any UV damage.

Yes, unbelievable the difference covered vs uncovered.

Spray tires with 303 and cover them..

Yes, tire covers are a good idea. Use them whenever you are not in motion.

More than two nights in a CG and my TT tire covers are on.
