Tire Covers - Evidence or just belief?
Whenever I find parked motorhomes, I find some of them with tire covers, presumably to protect the tires from the sun. Now, off the top of my head this sounds like one of those "common sense" thing...

I am a firm believer. My pick-up lives in a garage, Summer before last I was vintage racing almost every weekend so I was lazy and just left my truck out with the trailer attached ready for the next race. It was park next to the house with the passenger side away from the house and catching full afternoon sun.
That fall I was out a race and some brought to my attend how my tire were badly cracked a needed replacing. I look on the drivers side they look good almost new, the the passenger side that had been in the sun for 6 weeks or so were shot, so I had to buy new tires. I have always covered my trailer tires but never thought about my truck tires. They were BFG All-Terrain, not cheap tires.
I sold the 2 drivers side tires and trashed the 2 passenger side tires.

Passenger's side in afternoon sun
Both tires bought the same time been on the same truck for 3 years.
