- Each cover is custom made to fit your tire size
- After your purchase Please e-mail us with your Tire size since each cover is custom made to fit your spare tire we need your whole tire size. Your tire size can be found on the side wall of the tire and should look something like this example: 225/75/15. Please be sure to check the size on the spare tire, because sometimes the size on the spare tire is different then the size of the tires mounted on the vehicle.
- Please note the the numbers 15, 16 ,17... refer to rim size only. I need your complete tire size found on the side wall of the tire. In some cases your tire size might look like 30x10.5/15 or 7.00-15. These sizes are more commonly found on trailers and jeeps with larger tires.
I went through Tire Cover Central's website to purchase my tire cover. I did not get this one listed, but the one with a lion's head (which isn't listed for sale through Amazon). However, I wanted to share my experience with the business and the actual product itself.
When I first took the tire cover out of the box it seemed pretty awesome. The image was brightly colored and nicely done. That is the positive.
I unfortunately was more disappointed with the tire cover once I got it on my spare tire. I purchased a good sized lock to keep it secure. How ever the grommets at the bottom were at least 6 inches apart, even when it was tied shut! I also was not happy with the way the tire cover buckled/rippled once it was on (it looked cheap). So I went to their website and followed the instructions for returns. I received no reply what so ever. My dad called the business and they were supposed to get back to me...never did. My dad called them again and they brushed him off and said the tire covers weren't meant to be locked, only zip tied. He said if anyone stole it you would see it on their tire when they were out...that really pissed me off. So, I could return it if I covered the material cost (like 30% of what I paid plus shipping). Since I paid $60.00 for the item, I thought it would be silly to pay that much to return an item I thought was defective.
Another thing that bothered me was the glossy black paint that surrounded the lion's head. The image was glossy but it looked really cheap (to me) to use gloss on the black background too. Around the portion protecting the tire tread it was matt black and looked so much better. You don't know this until you actually see the real product as the images they list on their website don't give a true picture of their product.
Make sure you really know what you are getting into when you buy through tire cover central...I had the correct tire size for a custom fit and was very disappointed by both the product and their customer service.
