This is interesting but as we all probably know you need to look at all the taxes in the state too! Personal property, state income tax, home property tax and of course per gallon gas taxes!!!
Just a quick tip if you get one. If you have white lettering or a light colored picture in the cover in an area where the cover contacts the tire, clean off any tire dressing that may be on the tire. It can soak into the cover and discolor the picture/letters. You can guess how I know…..
Went in for my first oil change 3500 miles and tire rotation (free from the dealer). Takes about an hour longer than it should and the service writer says they didn’t rotate the tires because there was no wear on them?!?! Says we will rotate when you do your next change at 8000 miles? Then say...

This is what I bought. Use it with a Küat NV 2.0 rack
The procedure they taught at Off Rodeo was:
Stop
Shift to neutral
Engage parking break
Shut off engine
Shift into park
I have no idea if this makes a difference in your situation but maybe?
