Tire Covers and X-Chocks

[RobWNY]

Does anyone use X-Chocks with their Tire Covers on when on an extended stay someplace? I want to use my X-Chocks when in Florida next winter for the stability but I've never used them with the covers on the tires. I've only used one or the other. I use the covers when parked at my home and the X-chocks when camping for a few days. Protecting the tires from the damaging sun is important but so is the stability I get from the X-Chocks. Will I ruin the covers using the X-Chocks?

I guess I never thought about double covers. I'll have to look to see if I can find a set that fits my wheels. If not, I'll put the X-Chocks on after I put the covers on. Like valhalla said..They are expendable. Thanks for your input everyone!

I would put your chocks on first and then the tire covers.

Here is ours with RotoChocks installed.

covers are totally useless. Tires are already UV stable, and should be replaced no later than 7 years, personally, 5 years is my limit.

X-Chocks add a bit of stabilization when parked.

I do this all the time but I use double tire covers.

That was my first thought, too.

Put the covers on before unhooking, then put the X-chocks. That's what we did w/ the Roto-Chocks

We do this...I figure the covers are expendable as they only last a couple years anyway....though other than the imprint of the pads, haven't seen any major issues.
