Default spare tire cover

I realize as far as a mod goes, this is minor. My jeep came with a tacky vinyl spare tire cover with a huge dealer advertisment on it. I have seen jeeps on the road with a cover that fits really well and almost looks like a skin. Anybody have any leads? Thanks.

Same thing happened to me. The dealership plastered a billboard-sized logo on a tire cover and stuck it on the spare. They also put on a license plate surround that had the dealership's name in big letters, along with a sticker on the tailgate. ALL of those are gone now. I ended up finding a nice, inexpensive tire cover at Pep Boys. However, I've since just decided that my spare should go naked.

Commando spare tire.... Like a man!

I've never seen one fit very well, always seem to work their way loose after a while. If your tire is more aggressive the tread might even dig a pattern into the vinyl. I believe Bestop still makes one, and they tend to be a favorite of vinyl products for jeeps.

My dealer included a spare tire cover, I wonder if he was pissed off that I removed it before leaving the lot?
