Most Popular Spare Tire Cover Designs (With Examples)

A spare tire cover is one of the easiest ways to transform the look of your vehicle. Whether you drive a Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, FJ Cruiser, or any SUV with an exposed rear spare, your tire cover becomes a major part of your vehicle’s personality.

Some drivers prefer a clean, subtle look. Others want something bold, funny, patriotic, or outdoorsy.
