How big does the spare tire have to be?
It is entirely up to you. If the tires are exposed to the sun for any length of time and are sitting, I always cover them.
The only way to know if your wheel cover will fit is to use a measuring tape to measure the diameter of the tire. to the very top of the tire It's very easy to do, and the tire cover is sized to fit (22/23/24/25/26) that's how I did it, and it worked flawlessly. best of luck
It's just big enough for a 13-inch wheel. You'll need something to fit a 27-inch laptop. The wheel is 29 inches wide.
Selected User Reviews For Camco 45261 Black 21-1/2 inches Vinyl Spare Tire Cover
This is what the tire cover looks like after a year of use on a spare tire for a gooseneck trailer. I didn't mind if it took two people to stretch it over the tire; the trailer does stay outside, but only for a few hours each day. I'm not impressed with the cover, which has shredded and is now falling apart. Is this something that needs to be replaced on a yearly basis?.
It only took two months for the crack to appear. I had hoped to leave a positive review, but unfortunately, this Camco spare tire cover failed two months and one trip after purchase. It looked great, fit perfectly, and stayed in place for the entire 200-mile journey. While I was painting my trailer, I kept the cover and tire in my garage for a couple of weeks. When it came time to reinstall them on the trailer, I noticed that the vinyl had a few small cracks that would eventually grow into larger cracks. Unfortunately, the return window has closed, so my freshly painted trailer will be sporting a spare tire cover with a shabby duct tape patch. yay.
I wanted to cover the tire to protect it from the elements after installing a new tire carrier on our trailer. I was worried that it would come off at highway speeds, but it is extremely secure on the tire, and while I wouldn't recommend it depending on your trailer, I've driven mine up to 80 mph and the cover doesn't flap in the wind at all. The cover's soft fabric interior liner "sticks" to the tire's rubber, and I'm very pleased with it thus far. We'll have to wait and see how the vinyl holds up in the long run outside.
My white tire cover was stolen from my SUV; replacing the original tire cover is very expensive, and since my model doesn't have a lock option (thanks, Toyota! ), I'm out of luck. ) there's a good chance that my new factory replacement cover will be stolen. br>br>For the time being, I've decided to look for a vinyl cover; white vinyl covers are extremely difficult to come by! Since my original intention was to sell my car, I've had it for longer than I thought, but I still have it. br>br>What I've noticed is that it blends in very well with my car from a distance, and you don't even notice it's not original, but up close, it's obvious, especially with the thin black stripe that circles around it. Regardless, it's a solid option for emergency protection that's also very affordable. Obviously, no one wants to steal this $13 cover when compared to the $500 original. When I see other SUVs driving around with a missing tire cover, I get so sad. It's obvious that it was stolen, and it looks terrible. This is the LAST SUV I'll buy with a vulnerable cover; I'd rather the tire be hidden in the first place. br>br>My only complaint is that it turns yellow on the top where the sun hits it, but I park outside in sunny California, so your experience may be very different if you park in a garage or live in Washington, etc. I've had to replace this yearly so far, but I still think it's a great value and really helped me out during a difficult time.
In the Florida sun for two years. Camco sold me regular tire covers, which I use to cover my RV's mounted tires. These covers have been in use for five years and are still in excellent condition. br>br>However, in the Florida sun, the Camco Spare wheel covers only last about two summers. It's still a good deal for the $6 you'll pay. br>br>I'm curious if the spare wheels are made of a different material or come from a different supplier. The spare cover is crisp, and the tire covers are still soft.
The 24- My Coachmen Clipper 17BH has 26" covers that fit the 24" spare tire (ST185/80R13). Although it is clearly a vinyl cover, it appears to be quite durable. These will deteriorate over time due to exposure to the elements, and they will deteriorate at a faster rate than higher-quality materials. ones will come to an end However, it is a better cover than my tires. I intend to upgrade my RVs in the next year or two, so these will suffice. Tires aren't that expensive for smaller campers when compared to the cost of nicer covers, so these are a nice addition to give me 6-inch of ground clearance. Instead of three years, you'll get seven. If you have higher-priced tires, you'll probably want a higher-priced tire that will last four years. the final option.
For under $20, you can get a great spare tire cover for your travel trailer. If it's exposed to direct sunlight, you'll need a new one every 12 months, regardless of which brand you buy. a year and a half The ADCO was my most recent assignment. The CAMCO is of higher quality for the same price. Their promotional photos, on the other hand, are dreadful. I had to choose between two sizes based on my measurements, and I'm glad I went with the smaller one. I don't mind if the back of the tire next to the trailer is covered. The appearance on the RV is important to me. On the smaller cover I ordered, the black band extends below the top of the tire and along the tread corner. Although the cover had enough stretch to cover the top of the tire, it lacked the dimpled appearance seen in the photos. It had warmed up enough to remove the wrinkles, fit snugly around the tire, and looked great by the time we arrived at the campsite.
We put it on the spare tire and never took it off, so it wasn't subjected to a lot of abuse before it cracked. Simply put, the vinyl appears to be of poor quality and has cracked due to sun exposure. I would have expected this tire cover to last much longer than one season because it was designed for this purpose.
