Spare Tire Cover

bratan · 03-03-2005, 09:07 AM

Hi,

I'd like to hear some recommendations on the tire covers. There are so many to choose from: denim, vinyl, fabric, etc. Which one is the best? I'd also like to get the cheapest one, but not the total cr@p (little low on cash after buyin new Liberty)

I've seen some ranging from $35-150... Also if you could recommend me a good place to buy.
Oh yeah I have '05 Liberty with R16 (standard) wheels.

Thanks!

I have had the denim cover for 3 years. I really like it, it cleans up nice (still looks like new) and it stays flexible in winter.

I've had the denim cover for 3 years too, and I like it. Mine is the security cover, which costs a little more, but gives you a little peace of mind. Try doing a search on Wyckoff Chryslers webpage. They're usually competitive, or jeeppartspeople.com

Cool! Yours have zippers or straps?

Neither, there is a bungee cord around the opening and a slit at the bottom. The bungee cord streches over the tire and pulls the cover about a inch around the back. Kinda like a shower cap...

I have one from the factory. Says "Jeep Liberty" on it in white letters. I think it is a denim type material. It feels kinda rough to the touch. My problem is that car washes don't really get it clean. How do you keep it clean so the white letters still look good?

I go to a wand wash place and use the soap brush to scrub it clean.
