For your tandem axle 5th wheel with 32-inch tires you can use one of the covers shown on the linked page. We have dual tire covers like part # 290-3922 that you referenced (sold as a single cover for 2 tires) as well as individual covers like # ST7002WH (a set of 2 in white) and # 290-3962 (a set of 4 in tan). Since these different covers are sold in varying quantities you'll want to note this to ensure you order covers for all 4 of your tires.

Another way to protect your tires is to use TrailerLegs Tire Saver Stands # 326-TRLLG-4 which fit under your axles to support the trailer with a much larger footprint than the small contact patch on the tires. You can see how these work by checking out the linked video. These solid platforms offer 8 times the stability of rubber tires and they help prevent flat spots.
