Tire covers?
Do you use tire covers on your class A? I was wondering how many folks actually use them. Thank you for the replies!

I use them on my RV and on my tow car tires. The sun and the uv rays really kill them i have never seen any of my tires crack.

Yep, got the MagneShade ones. Easy to put on and fold for easy storage. Not the cheapest though but they do let the rim show so you don't really notice them.

Use them when parked in one spot for more than three days - $59 for four from Walmart. They fold up easy, slip over the top of the tire and the tan color goes fine with our rig.
The strap with velcro used to be a pain, but we simply attached a string and weight to the end of the strap so we can sling it behind the tire, then pull the strap over and velcro it to the opposite side.

We have always used tire covers when the coach will be parked for more than a few hours.

We put on tire covers whenever we are going to be somewhere for more than one night.

Ditto on tire covers, keeps sun and unwanted animals away from tires.
