RV tire covers

Just curious what people think about tire covers while in storage outside or while camping? Sounds like they will help prevent the sun from damaging the rubber.  Next, do people recommend single covers for each of my four wheels or 1 dual cover for both on each side?  Thank you!

  • I’ve got two complete sets of 4 tire covers. I’ve never used any of them. I got 10 years out of my last set of tires at which point I changed them; not because there was any signs of any need for new ones, but because I was going on an especially long road trip and I felt i shouldn’t tempt my luck.

    That being said, if you have tire covers and want to put them on - do so; there is nothing wrong with that option. In my particular case, I have them and don’t bother using them - nothing has seemingly been wrong with that option either. I would guess that it all would depend on your particular circumstances. Some may need them and some may not. I may live in a place where the sun is far less of a damaging factor than where you live.
