Accelerated rubber breakdown, which is commonly seen on tires as cracking and dry rot, will affect your spare tire even though it remains stationary on the back of your vehicle or trailer until you need it. The rubber of most tires contains protective waxes that are released to the surface when you drive on it. Because you're not using your spare, it's more vulnerable to damage caused by exposure to UV rays and ozone. In short, your spare tire will wear out even if its rubber has never met the pavement. A spare tire cover is one way you can combat this form of wear.

Extend the life of your trailer's spare tire by protecting it from the sun, dirt, grime, and road salt with this weather-resistant vinyl cover. Elastic-trimmed rear opening gives a snug fit and the vented bottom lets moisture escape.I used this on 2 different size tires . 16 x 6.5 - 8 and 4.8 - 12 . The cover worked on both sizes of tire . A little sloppy on the 16 " but still a good fit . The 12 " tire was difficult to get on but it finally went on with a little persuasion . I'm glad I took the chance it would fit the 16 " .
Dan - 12/15/2021Package came as instructed. Fit over the 4.80/12 spare tire Perfectly. Was able to put a vinyl catfish decal on with no problems at all
Cover fit my spare tire perfectly. My spare tire is a 4.80-12, I dont have to worry about having a tire baking in the sun and being ruined. I like having the piece 9f m8nd knowing my spare tire is in good shape.
As described, appears to be good quality. Ground regular shipping was slow, but not etrailer issues.
Product arrive on time. This is exactly what I wanted, & better than advertised. Great quality & fit. Hevey duty materials. I can tell this will last for years to come.. YES! I definitely would / will recommend.
Thomas - 05/08/2020I bought this C.E. Smith spare tire cover to use on a 4.80 X 12 boat trailer tire. Fit is perfect. Quality is good, and installation was easy.
Spare tire cover is a nice fit for my 4.80/12 tire.
Tire Cover fits like a glove. My tire is a 4.80-12. Looks good, too.
I bought the spare tire, mount and cover cheaper than I could purchase just the exact same tire somewhere else. I received the tire and it was very easy to mount to my trailer and the cover made it look very professional. Would highly recommend.
I ordered the cover for my spare tire on jetski. It came fast and fit my 4.80/12 wheel perfect. Tight fit so I know it won’t blow off going down the road. Seems to be good quality and I would buy it again if I needed one.
Had to cut the elastic and sew it back together and add crossing nylon straps. The 12” cover wouldn’t fit over a ST145R12 tire.
Still protecting the tires from the UV of the sun.
I honestly did not think I would get the cover to fit over the new spare on my utility trailer (would probably be easier on an older, less sticky tire). I even wrote to CE Smith asking for advice. Very impressed by immediate response from Lindsay who had consulted with a company engineer. The trick is to work slowly around the tire and get the elasticized edge fully around the tire tread. When I couldn't pull the edge any further I gently pulled with tape covered pliers and it worked. No fear that the cover will ever blow off!
Chris - 02/24/2018Fits perfect. Like the elastic opening. Fits snug. I'm using this on my spare tire on the utility trailer.
Brad U - 03/10/2018I recently ordered new galvanized wheels with tires for my small boat trailer. They arrived in four days, fit perfectly and were one third the cost compared to a local marine supply dealer. Also, the tires were a better load rating than my old ones. Excellent service as always.
I haven`t had a problem with it up to this point in time. I cover it up over the winter so it is not exposed to the elements over the winter.
William - 06/29/2021pretty simple cover
Still in great shape. It gets a lot of sun but the elastic is still tight and there is no fading of the colour.
Neil. - 06/22/2021The tire cover 12 inch you sent me fit perfect on my Scoota Trailer
I'm very pleased with the 12 inch spare tire cover I purchased from Etrailer. It was a perfect fit over my spare and appears to be made of good quality materials. I chose the standard shipping option and received my order in just a few days. I'm a happy customer in all respects! Thanks!
What can I say!! It's a spare tire cover. Delivered fast, right price and fits. I like etrailer.com
I was uncertain about what size and kind of spare-tire cover to install on a new trailer spare. I found clear information at etrailer and ordered. It arrived before its scheduled delivery and it was easily installed. The material seems substantial and I hope it ensures the Texas weather, heat and sun. So far, I’m happy with etrailer.
The purchased spare tire cover was the correct size as indicated on the etrailer website and on the product packaging. After a herculean effort to slide the cover over the tire the material ripped. I would suggest that others wishing to order this particular product order the next larger size and save yourself some scraped knuckles and much frustration.
Now this company understands good customer service. I wrote to inquire as to what size tire covers I needed; included photos and received a prompt response with recommendations. I received my purchase very promptly and also received two of emails from the company making sure I am satisfied with my purchase. Great company To and I am pleased with the quality of the tire covers. I recommend this company
Installed on all my trailers, durable and doing an excellent job.
