- RV Tire Covers are an essential piece of gear for every RVer. RV tires typically age out before they wear out, which means there's usually plenty of tread left when it's time to replace them. So it's important to protect against UV damage with RV tire covers for maximum lifespan. That's especially important for larger RVs, since big rig tires can each cost $1,000 to replace!

Bought three sets and found on Amazon wreath storage covers bag 24” use just two work for all six bags
A new RVGEEKS video! My day just got so much better!
Thanks so much! ☺️
Exactly what I was looking for thank you very much
Hi Guys good to see you again ,hope you had a good winter,we are back in utah after a nice winter in AZ, thanks for sharing these covers they look easy to use and store, stay safe ,the Mittons and their Kittens sending hugs 😻😸👱♀️👱♂️
I have had them for four years on my diesel pusher and have loved them. Very easy to use.
Great to hear!
This sounds like a good idea. Ease of use of the RV tire cover is just as important as functional purposes of the tire cover.
As always, very informative! Thank you.
We just purchased a set for our 2006 Country Coach that we just purchased 🤩🇺🇸😎👍🦅
Thank you, guys. I just bought a used Class A Tiffin in November and it came with a similar product. Probably same company, but too small for the 22.5" tires to reach the ground and canvas material, not good for the rainy season. Now I know where to get new ones!
Congrats on your new-to-you RV!
Awesome! You got this completely covered!!! :-) They look so easy to use...you won't get tired!
We see what you did there, Jim. 😂
@@RVgeeks - Good!! I wanted to tread lightly!
Thanks great new design
OUTSTANDING!! Thanks So easy!
SAFE TRAVELS
Thanks! You too!
Great idea. Thank you
I really like those
Hmm sounds good. I use a meguires clean and shine
good info, thanks.
A very good idea.
Nice, good information
I purchased the tire savers you guys talked about on this video and I totally agree with you on how easy they are to use! Terrific product!! My only complaint is that they took five weeks to arrive!! I guess it’s part of the new normal for RV parts and accessories!
Great video as always!!!
Awesome! Great to hear. Thanks so much for letting us know (and sorry they took so long to arrive!),
I need a set that’s dog proof,nothing like looking out and seeing your two dogs playing tug-of -war with your tire covers
🙈 Sorry to hear.
We've been using the SnapRing covers for a couple years now on our Class A and like them. I've noticed the metal ring has pierced the vinyl on a couple of them so I'm a little disappointed they didn't last longer.
Thanks for the update, Jerry. We’ll keep an eye on ours and report back as needed.

They're sold in pairs, in black or white, in multiple sizes to fit any RV.
Hello, very informative, thank you!
What size did you get?
Thanks T C! Our tires measure 42 inches diameter from tread to tread, so we got the largest size, 40-42”
1. Will scissor chocks damage the tire covers?
2. Is there anything in the specs that list the max wind speed before the covers can be torn or damaged?
@@Gunner_Tom We would think that scissor chocks put on before the tire covers would not harm them, but obviously the chocks may be in the way of the covers going on completely. Not sure we’d crank those chocks down against the tire covers, as that would probably not be very good for them over time. As far as wind, we can’t imagine any wind capable of getting behind these tire covers and pulling them off. The metal ring is very strong and tight around the tire, and they are extremely well held in place.
@@RVgeeks Thanks guys for the quick response. I have not bought sissor chocks yet so I think I will keep ising ground chocks and get some of these.
They do look like a very convenient set of tire covers. We have our coach stored indoors and I don't think it sees daylight more then 3-4 months cumulative per year. The previous owner included a set of snap on covers for the tires but we have never used them. I think now the next time we bring it home I'll try them out and see just how much of a hassle they are. The longest we have stayed in one spot so far is only 5 days. BTW: Nice to see you guys back on UA-cam. The RV'rs must really be taking up a LOT of your time :-)
Sounds like a good plan to try them out! It’s partly the show that’s had us so busy, but mostly it’s that our business is booming (designing websites for RV parks). Good problem to have!
@@RVgeeks Ah Ha Didn't realize that was another one of your 'past times'. From what I've seen you have your work cut out for you and ought to be able to retire at it LOL. With all of the new RV Campgrounds being created they definitely need help. Be safe and stay healthy.
Great tire savers....guys when you park do you place wood under your tires if your gonna be there for a while?
We use these: amzn.to/3x9dwWL Love 'em!
I have similar wheel covers to your new ones except these are made of a canvas material. I have had them since 2016. I checked and they aren't available any more.
Where was this video taken. Some kinda salt flats? I love circling of the MH at the end.
Most of the video was shot in the Arizona desert west of Phoenix, but the final circling aerial shot was on a dry lake bed on the California-Nevada border.
I would think you could just use a large trashbag over each one
Why not use tire shine for short stays???
Hi Michael! Great question. We don’t actually use tire shine at all, as it tends to attract dirt and is mostly for appearance. it also may contain petroleum distillates, which is harmful to the rubber. Our preferred tire treatment is Aerospace 303, which protects the rubber with UV protectant, and makes them look good while not making them over-shiny.
I have been using covers similar to these from Harbor Freight, not as classy or most likely as expensive. Oh well my TT is not as classy either.
I would have liked to see where you store them and How? Does it take up lots of space? Does it fold? Thank You for this video :-0). I salute You and Hope You are well. I am currently crossing Canada Back Home. I stoppedfor a nice night at "our "Abbotsford Walmart on the way 😁♥️
Hi Julie! Our Walmart! You’re back in our old stomping ground. 👍 All 6 of them sore flat in a pile in our basement, and don’t take up much space.
@@RVgeeks Ok Thank You :-0) ☀️They sure look Handy and quick !
@@projet2907 Hello Julie how are you doing?
Are you concerned about the heat created by black tire covers with no air circulation? An FMCA tire expert told us we should get white covers if they cover the entire wheel. We opted for solar mesh covers that snap onto the side of the rig.
Great question, Greg! We’ve heard conflicting info on this general topic, including from a prominent windshield screen manufacturer, who says that their testing shows that black does a great job of blocking UV, which is the biggest problem. Not to sound flip about it, but white would clash so badly with our rig, I’m okay with black, even if white is better! 😂
Do you foresee any heat build up issues with the tires when ordering black over white.
While white may be cooler, we’ve always used black, and been able to run our tires right to the manufacturer’s maximum allowable age limit with the tires in great shape. Black is supposedly a great UV blocker, which is what damages tires the most.
What size tires do you have? Mine steers are Michelin 365/70R22.5 and rears are 315/80R22.5, both are 42.5" in diameter. Snap Ring "Giant" size says up to 42". Wondering if they would fit. Snap Ring people said they are not sure.
We have 295/80R22.5 and the specs say they’re 41.3” in diameter. The “Giant” size Snap Rings fit perfectly. They’re fairly snug, but it’s hard to say if they’re loose enough to allow an extra 1.2 inches for your larger tires. We hope they fit, because they really are awesome covers, but can’t be sure. We do have an idea though… if you buy them on Amazon and they don’t fit you SHOULD be able to return them, since Amazon seems to accept just about anything back. Here’s a link:
amzn.to/3pehC0X
Hope this helps. Please let us know how you make out.
What size did you buy for your 22.5” rimmed tires? Dan - Oklahoma’s Tumbleweeds
Hey Oklahoma Tumbleweeds... we got the largest size (for 40" to 42" tires). Keep in mind that the rim size isn't the only important factor. You really need to know the diameter of the tire (measured from tread to tread across the center of the wheel), since that varies based on the size of the tire used.
Hey, I remember you guys doing an episode where one of your Motorhome windows were damaged and you got a new one or replacement window. Where did you get a new window from and how much did it cost? I'm going to be buying a used Motorhome from a private seller and their bedroom Emergency/Exit window is cracked/shattered and needs to be replaced. Please let me know and thank you!!
It's been a while, but we recall it was somewhere around $400, comparable to OEM, but noticeably better quality. It was made by Peninsula Glass. More details here: ua-cam.com/video/3MuVSRpjGCA/v-deo.html
Hi guys, I am interested in the Snapring covers, my only concern is how to store them in the motorhome, how much room do they take up? Thanks
Hi David! The steel rings that make TireSavers work so well do indeed prevent them from folding up until a tiny little square. I’d estimate that they form approximately a 2’ diameter circle when stored. But they store very thin/flat and all six of our tire covers easily stack on top of each other and form one small circle that’s not very tall at all. It just depends on what your available space is like. While they do take up a slight bit more room than some others, their functionality is so superior, we feel like it’s an extremely small compromise, and would never go back!
Are you guys as excited about Starlink as much as I am?
Looking forward to it, Adam! It’s already cool to see them overhead.
💗💗
What size tires do you have? I don't see a size large enough on their website. Only up to 42 inches. My tires are 315/80r/22.5 and measure 43.5
We run 295/80R/22.5 and use the largest size 42” covers. I recall our tire diameter is 42” and they fit exactly, but I’ll double check later today and get back to you to confirm. Sounds like your tires may be too large. The manufacturer likely has a contact form on their website for more info, too: www.covercraft.com/us/en
I purchased 40-42 for my 315 sized tires and they fit fine
@@richfix1183 Thanks so much for the follow-up, Rich!
@@RVgeeks Just doing the calculations and conversions from the tire designation you have a 41.1" diameter and 11.6" tread width, so the "Giant" size (40-42") looks just about perfect. Thanks for the review! I really like these covers, but the tires on my Dutch Star are a bit larger (especially the width of my fronts, which are 365/70R/22.5 - the rears are 315/80R/22.5), so I'm going to call Covercraft to see what they suggest.
weed whackers, water from grass line effects the tires.... and every trailer should have lifts to take weight of vehicle off tires and suspension.
$108 per pair?!
That’s for the largest size, and worth every penny. One of the best investments you can make to protect your tires quickly and easily, and they’ll last for years. We wouldn’t be without them.
