Why Do You Need a Spare Wheel Cover?

If your 4x4 carries a rear-mounted spare, a wheel cover is more than a styling accessory — it’s essential protection.

Exposed spares are constantly exposed to harsh UV rays. Over time, this sunlight damage prevents unused tyres from curing properly, which can lead to cracking and premature wear once the tyre is finally fitted. It sounds surprising — but it’s true.

A quality wheel cover protects your spare so it’s ready when you need it most.

Why Choose a Canvas Wheel Cover?

Unlike vinyl covers, canvas won’t soften, warp, or become sticky in the heat. That means:

Easier handling on hot days
No more fighting with a stiff or tacky vinyl cover
Better long-term durability in Australian conditions

Canvas also offers a premium, rugged aesthetic that complements touring and off-road vehicles.
