Description

1 parts
›The tire cover of the present invention is…

The tire cover of the present invention is designed to allow a user to change, transport or store tires without getting dirty.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the tire cover of the present invention, shaped as if the cover was on a tire.

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

FIG. 3 is back view thereof.

FIG. 4 is a top view thereof.

FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof.

FIG. 6 is a side view thereof.

FIG. 7 is another side view thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the tire cover of the present invention, shaped as if the cover was not on a tire.

The tire cover of the present invention has features for clean tire changing and transport. Those features include flexible, liquid resistant material that essentially covers the side walls of the tire as well as the tire tread. Additionally, the tire cover is shaped so that when it is fitted on the tire, an opening exists and allows for the user to access inner portions of the tire, e.g., lug nuts. Hence, the opening allows for a user to change a tire while the tire is covered. Additionally, the tire cover has handles that allow a covered tire to be carried and transported. The tire cover further includes hook and loop fasteners to adjust the circumference of the tire cover to fit several size tires.
