i store my TT on a large parking lot =, obviously outdoors. It is in the direct elements. I'm reading a couple threads on here now that flip flop both ways. I use the TT every couple of weeks or so and travel anywhere from 25 to 250 miles.

Yes...found out the hard wayNew tires (uncovered) cracked along the sidewalls within two years (1/8 inch wide crack next to the rim). Had to be replaced. Next set covered lasted 6 years.We use our RV at least once per month with 300 to 500 mile trips.

I would cover them. Frequent driving like a car is a different story.

One side of my 5er faces south while sitting in my driveway and I cover the tires while it's sitting there for awhile. Don't know if covering them helps their life, But the covers themselves sure don't like sitting in the sun all day.

I only cover mine in winter, in the spring/summer I use it most weekends.

I cover mine. UV is harmful.
