Should I cover my tires?
Getting ready to cover the trailer for the winter, and I'm wondering if I should cover my tires. They're not in bad shape.

Good point.
Every tire mfg recommendation on the subject I've read say about the same thing as Goodyear Tire.
Our trucks don't sit for 5-7 months a year with max loads on them like our RV trailers and expect them to last 6-7 years.
My rv trailer sits in a shed with 1" crusher run with the tires on 2"X 8" wood from around OCT 1st to around some time in mid April. I use 16" LT E tires and get 50k-55k miles and around 7+ years of service.
There is nothing wrong with following tire mfg recommendations on tire storage. If you don't feel the need for following them or don't want the added complexity of doing so, no one is going to think badly of you for your decision not to use those recommendations.
