Forumites,
Anyone finds an Exploroz tyre cover between
Pinjarra amd
Bridgetown on the South Western highway it's
mine. It blew off the spare tyre on my camper trailer Friday morning around 10:30 ish.
Fat chance I know but you never know stranger things have happened. Thanks in anticipation.Keep the shiny side up

What size was it and on what tyre - I cannot understand how it would have blown off they generally fit very
well.Regards

I've been out of touch for a little while but good to be reading the
forum again.
My guess is that these are such a collectors item, that some low life has sneaked up behind - without you seeing them - and stolen it. Just can't trust some people. At least it has a return address on it. LOL

David / Bruce,
I got the one for 31 X 10.5 X 15, the tyre on the camper trailer is a 265 X 70 X 15 so what ever that equates to that is what the tyre cover was on. It seemed pretty snug going one, I assumed that because of the spare wheel being on the front of the trailer it got a lot more updraft from the vehicle towing, it seemed to flap around quite a bit, looked OK. Just when I stopped at
Bridgetown for morning smoko it was gone, just one of those things I suppose, and it was it's maiden voyage as
well, bugger!!!!! Thanks for asking anyway, Keep the shiny side up

Martyn, We had this happen a few years back with a good quality tyre cover while towing a caravan. We put it down to the draft between the 4x4 and the van. We bought an exploroz cover and we are really happy with it, as it is firm enough, although we have not towed as yet. I think before we set off with the van we will stick in a couple of illets and tie it a wee bit tighter for safety. The weather may play a part also in the elastics performance. JenLooking forward to the cruise and snooze years.........Retirement
