I use mine only in the winter to protect it from all the salt they use on the roads...... Your spare tire sits far enough back even with a cover on so I'm thinking its something other then the cover. Oh by the way don't drink those fancy coffee's and I'd post a pic of myself in the jeans(not skinny) I'm wearing but I wouldn't want "rays0852" questioning his own sexuality after seeing my pic bahahahaha

I installed a nice Mopar Jeep spare tire cover to cover the stock tire. It looks great and fits perfectly. But now at any speed on a dirt road there is a large amount of dust that is drawn in through the tailgate vent. I am guessing the cover is causing a vacuum that is opening the vents to allow the dust in. Does anyone else have this problem? Do I need to replace the vent or take the spare tire cover off to fix the problem? Thank you in advance.

I think the purpose of the spare tire cover is pride and dignity. Who wants to go around looking cheap or broke because he doesn't have a matching bad ass spare tire instead of a stock tire? I'm telling you it was embarrassing. But spending that much money on a spare tire just seemed wrong somehow.
Now I'm wondering about a guy from Kentucky that drinks fo fo coffee???????????

Include your FULL SIZE spare in your tire rotation and you'll gain 20 percent more tire life on all 5 tires - right? Plus...your spare will actually be useful and not dry rot out on ya.
