Tire Covers
Just got a new Class A. I kept the tires covered on our travel trailer. Does anyone cover the tires on their Class A? My thought is, they are regular vehicle tires and I don't cover the tires on my car and truck.

- Yes, all the time unless it is an overnight stop. If you search on the net you will find out why.
- Yes, unless I was traveling. Then, if I stopped for a week or so, I covered them. But always when parked on my site in FL. Most in here do keep them covered, whether A, B, C or trailers.
- The Forman of a truck tire shop told me if RV owners would drive the RV 25 miles per month they would not need covers and tires would last much longer.
- Cover when parked for two nights or more.
- If parked for more than a couple days I cover them. They don't get driven enough to keep them like my car tires. They also don't get enough miles in their total life.
- When home tires are covered but I don't take the covers on the road. Tires are closing in on retirement age but still looking serviceable at seven years and 47,000 miles in service.
- From what i have read, using a tire allows natural oils etc to be released and keeps the tire from dry rot and cracking of the side wall. The tires on a rv sit for extended periods of time and do not get the benefits of being driven allows. My tires are always covered at home, while traveling i dont cover them. My usual rv park stay is not more than 3 days while on our big trip
- Looks like a consensus! I'll get some covers! Makes sense about the lack of use compared to a regular vehicles tires.
- We keep ours covered when we are parked somewhere for a month or longer.

Same here. We don't bother with shorter stays....Dennis
