rob v Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 My boat trailer spends a lot of time out doors during the summer with my boat on it, parked in my driveway. I'd like to make sure my trailer tires last as long as possible (installed a new pair of radial tires last year) but I can't figure out an economical way to keep them covered and outta the sun. I'd love to park it in the garage but it won't fit. Any ideas from some of you industrious, frugal thinkers out there would be helpful. Thanks.

Fish4Eyes Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 The RV stores must sell tire covers as I have seen quite a few on campers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratherboutdoors Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Princess Auto carries tire covers. $20 to $30 for a pair depending on your tire size. Work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
