Spare Tire Cover for 27 Inch Spare Tire on Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket

Question

Question:

Best tire cover. I have Michelin 235/60R16 tires on my 1995 VW Eurovan full camper. The spare tire is mounted in a Yakima LoadWarrior basket on the roof. What is the best tire cover to use for this roof mounted spare tire ? Thanks for any recommendations you can offer.

There is a great option for you to cover your 235/60R16 spare tire, the Camco Vinyl Spare Tire Cover - 27" Diameter # CAM45258. This is the best cover for you because it will very snugly fit your spare tire, which is also 27". This spare tire carrier has an elastic cord on the back that tightens around the tire, making it a great fit.

This will be the perfect way to protect your spare tire as it is being hauled on your Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07070 with Spare Tire Carrier # Y07076.

I have added a link to a video review of the Camco cover for you to check out as well.
