If you want to know if a particular spare tire cover will fit your RV tires, there is an easy way to find out. Simply read the numbers off the sidewall of your current RV tire. The most common tire sizes will have three parts, just like the 205/75-R15 tire pictured at right. This number will tell you the section width, the sidewall aspect ratio and the diameter of the wheel.

Once you have these numbers we will be able to assist you in choosing the right tire covers for your RV.

Your ST205/75R15 tires have an overall diameter of just over 27", so the Adco # 290-3753 (Diamond Plate) or # 290-3973 (Black) will work perfectly.

My Newmar has Michelin 255/80R 22.5G X RV tires. What covers do I need?

Your 255/80R22.5 size tires are just under 33" in diameter, so the best option is a 33 to 35" cover like the Adco # 290-3971.

Your LT215/85-16 tires have an overall diameter of just over 30", so the Adco # 290-3952 (White) or # 290-3972 (Black) will work perfectly.

Your 245/70R19.5 size tires have an overall diameter of right at 33". With this in mind the Adco (Black) # 290-3971 or (White) # 290-3951 will work perfectly.

Hi, we have Michelin 315/80R22.5. What size covers do I need? Thanks.

@BettyM For your 315/80R22.5 tires, they have an overall diameter of just over 42 inches. This diameter falls in a size changeover for the tire covers we offer. Especially with the width of your tires, I feel that the covers that fit 40-42 inches will most likely be too snug on your tires, so I would go with a set of covers designed to fit 43-45 inch diameter tires. I have linked all of the tire covers in this size for you to check out.
