Car Spare Tire Cover 13-20 Inches

Spare tire cover: keeping the rubber protected all year round

A spare tire doesn't fare well. Tucked away under the trunk floor or strapped beneath the vehicle, it collects dust, moisture and road spray, and the day you need to get it out, you end up with hands covered in grime. This spare tire cover made from coated polyester solves both problems at once: it completely encloses the tire, cinches tight with an elastic band and an adjustable strap, and leaves you with a clean car tire cover to handle. Available individually or in a set of four, it is just as useful for a spare tire as for seasonal storage of a full set of tires.

What you get when a spare tire finally has a cover

The model is easily identified by its contrasting strap running across the sidewall and its identification pictogram printed on the front: a small car diagram where you can mark the tire's original position. A minor detail? Not at all: when storing four tires, knowing which one was on the front right prevents the reassembly order from becoming random. A spare tire cover that saves you time when reassembling is already a well-thought-out cover.

In a trunk, the visual effect is immediate: no more dusty black sidewall coming into contact with luggage, a neat shape, and a clear handle for removing the tire without rolling it around on the carpet.

Coated polyester, elastic and adjustment buckle: the inside of this tire cover

The fabric is a water-repellent coated polyester: water beads up instead of soaking through, and the outer surface blocks ultraviolet rays, the main cause of rubber hardening during storage. The inner circumference is elasticated and closes with a drawstring stopper, allowing the same cover to fit several tire widths. The outer strap is adjusted with a quick buckle: when pulled tight, it prevents the tire storage cover from twisting around the tire during transport. A flat pocket sewn onto the sidewall holds the lug wrench or small tools.

• Spare tire protection against dust — the sidewall and tread remain clean, even after months in the trunk.
• UV-resistant tire cover — direct light no longer reaches the rubber, which retains its flexibility.
• Tire storage bag with handle — remove and carry the tire without getting your clothes dirty.
• Sewn tool pocket — the lug wrench travels with the tire.
• Printed position marker — find the mounting order when it's time to rotate the tires.
• Sold individually or in a pack of 4 — equip your single spare tire or the full set.

Choosing the right cover size according to your wheel diameter

Two sizes cover the vast majority of vehicles: the 13-16 inch version for city cars, compact cars and space-saver wheels, and the 16-20 inch version for sedans with large rims, SUVs and 4x4s. Measure the rim diameter indicated at the end of the dimensions on the tire sidewall, for example the 16 in 205/55 R16, and choose the corresponding range. If your tire is wide or reinforced, the upper range remains the safe choice: the elastic band makes up for any slack, while a cover that is too short puts strain on the stitching. Also compatible with trailer wheels and motorhome tire sets, depending on the fitted dimensions.

Should you really cover a spare tire that stays in the trunk?

Many people think the trunk is enough to protect it. In practice, an uncovered tire releases a rubber smell into the cabin, soils everything it touches, and is exposed to the humidity fluctuations within the floor compartment. The cover creates a simple mechanical barrier that prevents these three nuisances. For long-term storage in a garage, the same tire protection cover also prevents the grey deposit that requires everything to be washed before reassembly.
