Why have we yet to see a Spare Tire Cover?

[Toccoa]

Who does that? You rotate your spare into tire configuration. That way you get the full utilization of the spare's life and don't have to buy new tires as often.

The same kind of people who can’t be bothered with shifting their own gears. ? All kidding aside, not everyone is used to a 5 wheel rotation setup.

I find the responses to a tire cover kinda funny saying it's outdated, etc when white tops and steelies and a heritage package are such wants to complete the obvious retro look of the new Bronco.

I'm all in for a tire cover if they'll give me a white top option, hell, I may even rock RWLs!

I plan on making my own spare tire cover with a gloryhole for the camera. Stay tuned I might pop out a few to hussle on the side, keep a eye out on the classyfieds.

I know we're all bored and frustrated, but geez, can you hold back the disparagements of things you don't happen to like? Some folks like autos, some like tire covers, some like rock rails....let it go!

Well, the OP asked "why we haven't seen one yet" to the board....should people have not answered with their honest opinions as to why you haven't seen them? Should people pretend that they are still "in fashion" on 4x4s and tell him they are coming; or give him the answer he sought out and asked for?

What's your plan if you cut a tire?

Panic?

We don't have spare tires?

Right now - we've got JACK! That is, other than hopes and dreams.

Bermuda shorts with white socks and sandals are still in fashion. In Bermuda. So it's a 'to each his own' thing. Personal pref, not mandatory.

What's all this rotating tire talk? My tires rotate every time I drive on them, so I'm good right? So with the spare on the back, do I just take it off and reattach it to the mount in different holes? then it's rotated, right?

Has anyone thought about why we have yet to see a Spare Tire Cover? Just food for thought.

I think you ask a very good question. They apparently have ideas for tire covers, and I would love to see what these different options look like. The names are intriguing:
