Pulled into a site in Ohio yesterday and will be here for 16 nights. Setting up camp today and that includes putting on the tire covers. Dirt and gravel sites with rain projected so the covers will stop the dirt splatter from hitting the wheels.

Anybody who has worked with retail tire displays knows of the shadow stacks of tires leave. So Scuba, get you some!
Any experience with these?

I use snap ring covers. The ones I have only go down to 19 inch.

If you can find them snap ring style is the way to go.

My opinion only. I don’t want any wheel cover where I have to lay on the ground to fasten a snap on the inside of the wheel. I’m too old for that crap.

I purchased Snap Ring Tire Covers. They are sold in pairs so they cost a lot more than the get on the ground and tie them on brands. Used that stile on my fifth wheel. Never again. Rocks, wet grass, mud, etc.. Pull the ring open around the bottom of the tires and pull up and slide it over the top of the tire.

Ditto on the Snap Ring. Less than 2 minutes to put on all 4.
