A hard spare tire cover offers superior protection and an upscale appearance. It also helps prevent road debris and extreme weather conditions from degrading your spare tire.

Boomerang’s rigid tire covers feature a hard plastic face sewn to an automotive vinyl band. They’re available in different colors, paint-matched or black texture, and are designed to fit various tires sizes.

Material

The best spare tire covers are made of durable materials that can withstand UV rays and environmental elements. They can also act as a deterrent for thieves. They typically come in a soft type such as vinyl and fabric, or a hard shell with clasps or latches. Hard covers are usually more expensive than soft ones, but they are worth the extra money to protect your spare tire.
