Very disappointed. Cracked in 2 months.
Originally I thought I'd be leaving a positive review but, sadly, this Camco spare tire cover failed 2 months and 1 trip after purchase. It looked good, fit well, and remained secure during a 200 mile trip. The cover and tire were stored in my garage for several weeks while I was painting my trailer. When it was time to mount them back on the trailer I noticed the vinyl had several small cracks that will surely grow to big cracks. Unfortunately, it's past the return window so my trailer with a fresh paint job will have a spare tire cover with trashy looking duct tape patches... yay.

Very Secure Even at Highway Speeds
I installed a new tire carrier on our trailer and wanted to cover up the tire to protect it from the elements. I was concerned that it might come off at highway speeds, but it is extremely secure on the tire. Although I wouldn't recommend it depending on your trailer, I've had mine up to 80 miles per hour and the cover doesn't flap at all in the wind. The soft fabric interior liner of the cover sort of "sticks" to the rubber of the tire. I'm very happy with it so far. We'll have to wait to see how the vinyl holds up outdoors over the long term.

Cracks!
Worked well in the beginning but ended up cracking the year after we bought this. We installed it on the spare tire and never took it off again so it's not like it was handled too much before it cracked. It just appears that the vinyl isn't the greatest and cracked from exposure to the sun. Since this tire cover is designed for this application I would have expected it to last much longer than one season.

Good temporary cover
My white tire cover was stolen off my SUV, it's very expensive to replace the original tire cover and since my model doesn't come with a lock option (thanks a lot Toyota!) the chances of my new replacement factory cover being stolen are high.I decided to look for a vinyl cover for now, White vinyl covers are VERY HARD TO FIND! I've had this longer than I thought since my original intention was to sell my car, but I still have it.What I've noticed is from a distance, it blends in with my car very well and you don't even notice it's not part of the original car, but closer up it's obvious, especially with the thin black stripe that circles around it. Regardless, it's sturdy and is an extremely affordable emergency cover option. Needless to say no thieves are interested in this $13 cover vs the $500 original. I get so sad when I see other SUV's driving around with a missing tire cover, it's clear it was stolen, looks Horrible. This is the LAST SUV I will buy with a vulnerable cover, I really prefer the tire to be hidden anyway.My only complaint is that it does turn yellow on the top where the sun hits it, but I have an outdoor parking spot in sunny California so your experience may be very different if you park in a garage or live in Washington etc. I have to replace this yearly so far, but I still think it's a great value and really helped me out during a tough time.

Good quality, good price.
Fits very well. Thick, good quality construction at a very reasonable price. It's lasted through two rough winters and a very wet spring so far without any noticeable cracking or other wear. A simple and inexpensive way to sharpen up the image of your vehicle!Update: Well after about 2 years of service this cover started cracking and getting holes. Not bad. Unfortunately the felt-like lining turned out to be an algae magnet after a particularly heavy rainfall a few months ago, and the cover turned into a slimy mess with no hope of being cleaned. I had to toss it out. Given its cracking I don't think it would have lasted another year anyway. So with this experience I still say it's a decent product, but I've removed one star because it doesn't seem to last all that long for the price, and because if you are in a humid or wet climate the felt lining will prove to be a very bad idea.

I Ordered this for a Neighbor
My elderly neighbor was complaining about his 20+ year old cover falling apart, so I ordered this one and quietly put it on one night. It took him a week to notice, but was very happy when he eventually found it. "How long has that been there?"It's on a white Honda CRV and it matches perfectly. Even the black line around it matches the black gap lines in the car. It looks to be of good quality. A far more expensive spare tire cover wouldn't look as good as this one does on that car.

Good value for the money
The 24-26" covers fit the 24" spare tire (ST185/80R13) on my Coachmen Clipper 17BH. It is definitely just a vinyl cover, but it feels perfectly sturdy. These will break down over time just from the elements, and they will probably break down faster than higher-end ones will. But, it is better the cover than my tiresI plan on upgrading RVs in a year or two, so these fit the bill. For smaller campers, the tires are just not that expensive compared to the price of nicer covers, so these are a nice add-on to give me 6-7 years instead of 3-4 years out of a tire. If you have higher dollar tires, you probably want a higher-end option.

Great travel trailer spare tire cover for around $20
Great travel trailer spare tire cover for around $20. No matter which brand you buy, if it's exposed to direct sunlight, you'll need a new one of these every 12-18 months. My last one was the ADCO. For similar money, the CAMCO is better quality. But their marketing photos are horrible. My measurements were between two sizes, and I'm glad I chose the smaller one. I don't care about covering the back of the tire next to the trailer. I care about how it looks on the RV. The black band on the smaller cover I ordered is below the top of the tire along the tread corner. The cover still had ample stretch to cover the top of tire, but didn't have that dimpled look shown in the photos. By the time we reached the campsite, it had warmed to take out the wrinkles, fit snug to the tire and looked great.
