A must have in AZ if you don't want to replace tires due to drying out every year..Great covers. I put them on my unit in for storage in November, only secured them by tucking them fairly well into the tire/wheel well, then didn’t touch them once for 4 ½ months. Even through storms, rain, and being within a mile of an EF-3 tornado touch-down, they were there waiting for me right on my tires where I left them.The only annoying part? I was in a hurry when I needed them and nothing was very clearly then about how many individual covers came in a pack. The answer is four. Now I just have a spare set I doubt I’ll need any time soon because they’re great covers and I doubt they wear out in the near future.I bought these tire covers, different size, for my RV 9 years ago. I have since changed campers and came right back to buy these for the new sized tires. Easy to install. Looks great. I don't use the included tie that keeps the cover on the tire during high winds. The elastic band in back form fits over the top 1/3 of the tire and I find that hold the cover in place during midwest wind storms. After a couple years it did get dirty and I simply took it to a coin laundry and washed them clean again. Great product.This is my third time of using this brand and I am very happy. Only complaint is having to wrap a cord around the rear of the tire. I usually don't do it and have not had a problem with the wind blowing them off. My last set were at least five years old, setting outside, no cover, and I could not detect any fabric damage. Why did I replace them? They somehow got legs and walked off.I just purchased new tires for my horse trailer (always an expensive $500-700 or so drop) and purchased these after reading glowing reviews the same day. They promptly arrived and I was not dissapointed!I have never purchased tire covers before, so I didn't have much to compare to. I ordered these covers in the 29" size and fit very nicely over my set of 4 standard 225/75/15 trailer tires. They might be a tad on the big side, but that just makes them easier to get on/off and not a big deal to me. My previous set of trailer tires were never covered and even though they lasted many years, eventually started to show signs of failure (cracking, bruises, tire rot, etc) prematurely before the tread wore out. Also the climate here is very hot and dry and it really took a toll on the old tires. Since I sprung for higher quality/load rating tires this time, I wanted to protect them!Quality:These covers are surprisingly high quality and super soft. I can not vouch for their durability yet as I just put them on last night, but my guess is they will outlast the tires themselves. The outside is strongly waterproofed while the inside of the covers are a very soft material. I feel like I'm spoiling my tires.Usage/Application:The way these are designed to cover your tires is to slip over the wheels (elastic on the back around the wheel bearings) and be tied down with a rope string in the back. (See 3rd pic) That process was a little too much work rather than a zipper or Velcro or something else; I had to get down on the ground and throw the strings under the trailer to reach around. That may be too much of an inconvenience if I need to get my trailer quickly so I may resort to leaving the strings off and just trusting the elasticity on the backs to stay put. Unless there's strong winds or a storm, I don't see why they'd ever come off anyways. Maybe for long term storage? Then sure, tie those suckers down.Overall- super happy with this purchase and for less than $40, I can get years more use out of my investments. These covers were very high quality and like I said: I feel like I'm spoiling rubber tires. Haha Thanks for reading and good luck!I'll start out by saying these are beautiful covers. Nice heavy vynyl with a nice black trim detail around the edge. They are really sharp looking. However the size they recommend for my size tires are just a little too snug.I have 205/75r14 tires. They measure exactly 26 inches in diameter inflated to 50psi. So I purchased the size that said up to 26.5 inches diameter. Based on the reviews and questions I figured I had a 50% chance they would fit correctly, although my gut said go with the next size. They arrived. While they fit, they are VERY snug and hard to put on. That would be OK as they will probably stretch in time. But they are also close to 3 inches too short on the tire and don't come to the ground so they don't protect the whole tire. I should have gone with my gut and bought next size. But the description clearly stated sizes. Buying based on the description gave me covers that are too small. Next size has been ordered. Too small size will be on its way back tomorrow once larger size arrives and in sure they fit. But if you are close to the limit on size it appears right choice is to go with next size up.-----------Update. The larger size (model #2) arrived today. They slide right on easily and come all the way to the ground on the 205 75r 14 tires. Maybe just a tiny bit too loose but better than being too tight and small. You can see in the picture how they look. It's cold in my garage. I'm sure the heat in the summer will unwrinkle them. But they fit on far better than the smaller ones that were just too snug and short. We shall see how they hold up over time.Well constructed out of heavy vinyl, lined with felt and quality grommets. Nicely packaged in a bag made of the same material. Well worth the extra money over the cost of other wheel covers... mind you, the price has nearly doubled since I purchased it in mid-October!Mine didn't come with the indicated tie-down ropes/cords but i just used a short bungee on each one which worked very well.Product is easy to install however does not completely cover the tire to the ground. Ordered the actual tire size as indicated and fits around the tire well but Is about 4 inches to short at the bottom. In addition the shoelace provided to secure the cover on tire does not seem to work very as causes the bottom to lift up even more at the tread. I will use them but wish they would completely cover the size as stated.The covers were ordered for 29" wheels. They are well made, good looking, and fit tight but perfectly.The tie-down grommets on the cover are plastic two-piece types that came off the first time I tied them down.That's where the fifth star went.Will revisit after the first winter season.They fit perfectly. They also have grommets on the bottom corners to tie them together. It doesn't matter how strong the wind is, they stay on. I haven't had them very long, so time will tell if they are a good quality.They would look good on a 33" tire but mine are 30" so when I installed them they were wrinkled and dragging on ground by about 3"
