It's amazing what you can do with 3 beach mats, some gaffa tape and 6 bungee straps.
The mats were those with silver one side and rattan on the other that we bought from the cheap Chinese bazaar shop in El Campello. They came in 2 widths and for our 16" wheels we only needed the narrower ones. We cut each mat in half and then sealed the cut edge with a line of gaffa tape. We then added 2 extra strips of gaffa tape 10 inches from the top at each end to reinforce the mat so we could poke a hole in it for the bungee to hook through. Hey presto we had some pretty impressive looking tyre protectors. The total to cover all 6 wheels was €6 for the 3 mats, €1.60 for the bungees and €1 for the gaffa tape, total cost €8.60 (approx £6.10)
