Classic Accessories RV Wheel Covers Part # CA80083 Ability to Withstand High Winds

Updated 02/23/2013 | Published 02/19/2013

Question:

I live in the Central Plains MO and frequently experience high winds 50 mph. My trailer sits in an open field with no protection from the wind. How well will these covers stay on the tires, or is there a better product with grommets and bungee cords to hold them in place? Thanks!

The Classic Accessories RV Wheel Covers, part # CA80083, features an elastic hem on the top/rear of the cover that helps grip the tire at the top, where it is most likely to catch wind moving under the RV.

I would say that the fit of the cover to your tires will have a bearing on how well they withstand high winds. The more snug the fit, the less the potential for wind to be able to get under the cover and lift it. Since Classic Accessories offers multiple size ranges I suggest you simply select the most appropriate size option to provide the least amount of extra slack in the cover.
