I have just spent £245 replacing 2 Continental Vanco Camper tyres. Both on the nearside, which is the south facing side where I park the motorhome. Plenty of tread left but a lot of cracking caused by the sun. Offside tyres are fine at the moment so they are now on the front (lower load), and the new ones are on the rear. I suspect I will have to change the front ones though in a year or two's time.
This got me thinking. Does anybody cover their wheels when parked for a long period and if so has it helped increase tyre life?
I have seen several tyre covers for sale in the UK but they look a bit naff. On the other hand there are some very nice looking ones in the USA, such as and they are not expensive (when compared with the tyres). We are visiting our daughter in the USA for August so we could easily buy there and bring them back. With the exchange rate the way it is 4 would cost us less than £40.
