You'll get varying answers on this question. It depends a lot on your climate and your storage conditions. Is it on gravel or grass? Stored indoors or out, in a carport or not? Get shade or no shade? Winter weather or sunny all year? Sits on mostly dry ground or gets a lot of puddles?
We've owned campers for about 11 years now and have never covered the tires. Our storage conditions have always been on gravel, no water pooling as the ground slopes away from the camper. Shade is provided by the nearby campers that dwarfs ours for most of the day. :) We can have bad winters here in the Midwest. In these conditions, we've never had any dry rot or other tire issues, and looking around the storage lot, most of the campers have uncovered tires as well. So....it all depends and there really isn't a right or wrong answer.
