Spare Tire Cover for Boat Trailer with 205/75-14 Size Tires

Question

Question:

I want to cover a ST205/75R14 spare tire on my boat trailer. The tire is mounted in the horizontal position flat side of the tire lying on the trailer tongue. What do you recommend by way of a tire cover to help extend the life of the spare?

Expert Reply:

I recommend an Adco spare tire cover for you. They're durable, easy to put on, and vented to prevent moisture from buidling up.

Your 205/75-14 size tire measures about 27 inches for its outer diameter. There are five different styles of Adco covers to fit:

Black # 290-1737
White # 290-1757
Diamond Plate # 290-9757
US Flag # 290-1787
Camouflage # 290-8757

We carry the Bearing Buddy Spindle Grease Seal Set #BB60002 instead of the Dexter sleeve. I do not recommend the Dexter as with the one hole if that sleeve were to spin on the shaft it would block the hole of the EZ lube grease zerk. With the Bearing…

Triple-lip grease seals have been around for a while, and you're not going to notice a benefit with them over the double-lipped Grease Seals #RG06-050. We do not have triple lip seals, and they're honestly just not necessary.
