Side by Side Comparison of: Bully vs Classic Accessories

Great, simple, inexpensive cover to protect your spare tire, and makes the car look better. This is the 2nd cover. The first lasted many years. This year it finally started cracking along the top, but the tire was still fully protected underneath. (Was jus looking bad). This year's weather had been so hot we have had 2 full-grown trees wither & die. So the cracking was completely reasonable! I am expecting this cover to last many years also.

I put this on a spare on my 23' wakeboard boat trailer. It is mounted upright back far enough that it is exposed to lateral wind sheer instead of being mounted on the back of an SUV like other reviewers (where it would be very protected from highway winds). My trailer sits outside long term, always in the sun. I tow to the lake 2-3 times a week where I am traveling 70 mph on the highway. This has been fully submerged in the lake every time it gets put in. I have now had the cover for an entire season and the cover is still there doing it's job. This has exceeded my expectations for how much the cover cost. I figured for sure this would have torn off on the highway by now.UPDATE: I am now going on 3 full years with this cover and still have no issues. For the price I don't think you can beat this cover.

My CRV was looking rough, exposed, shameful perhaps. But now, thanks to this tire cover, it finally pulled itself together and is getting it's life back on track. Never again will the sun pop it's spare tire in the scorching Oklahoma heat. Never again will it sit in the end space of a 50 mile row of empty spaces at the grocery store hoping no one will look at it's shame. No, my '99 CRV has discovered a confidence long since forgotten and all thanks to the Bully CM-02 Large Universal Spare Tire Cover.

This cover is a great deal for this price, and fits my 225/70R16 tires just fine. A little tip is to lay it in the sun or put it in the dryer for a few minutes before trying to put it on, and when it is warmer, it is a little easier to slide over the tire. I'd recommend this tire cover, certainly.

This cover fit my spare on our utility trailer perfectly. Tire size is P205/75R15. Now that it will sit in the southern sun for days on end we'll see how it holds up. So far so good.

I drive a Honda CRV and the cost of purchasing a tire cover with the Honda Logo was out of the question. I took a chance and ordered this product, which at the time was only $13. It's thick and made very well. It fits like a glove. And it looks good! I don't need the Honda logo to let people know what I'm driving. It's pretty obvious!

Time will be the true test for this tire cover, bit I'll update that as needed.

This tire cover seems well made. It has an elastic edged opening that keeps it tight, the inside is made of a soft material that seems to not absorb water, and it has a nice looking black trim piece around the perimeter on the outside edge.

My travel trailer tires are 205/75 15, so I bought the 26.75"-27.75" size. It fits perfectly with no room to spare. It doesn't seem like it's going to fall off when driving down the road and it feels like it will hold up well. The big thing and the reason you buy this, it will keep the sun off the rubber.

I have no complaints with this cover and I feel good about my purchase.

I love this thing. I bought it to fit a 235 75R15 tire, and it fits very taught, and smooth over the tire, and the large fixture handle I made to hold the tire on the spare holder.

I have 29" Tires and I ordered the 29-29.75" and it fits perfectly. Very snug and the quality initially is great! The Stitching looks & feels strong and well done. I will edit in a few months if anything changes but for the Price idk how you can beat it!

Great value for the price. Vinyl material is heavy duty and not cheap feeling or rubbery. Description calls it "non-scratch backing", but it is actually felt which is typical of higher priced covers. Elastic cord is very heavy, about as thick as a pencil, so it is strong and holds the cover on well. Check the diameter of your tire and order the exact fit. My tire is 30" and I ordered the 30-30.75" inch cover and it fits perfectly with no slack or looseness at all.

I toiled over this purchase for a while. Quality, color and size were my questions. I wanted a cover that would look good, last a while and definitely fit! I finally settled on this tire cover and could not be happier. The cover is very high quality with a very good tension cord and a decorative piping that adds a nice touch. The grey color matched my waverunner aluminum trailer nicely. You should know that the color is definitely much lighter than what the product photo shows. It looks good though. It's more of a silver/light gray/aluminum color than the dark gray in the photo. Fit was perfect! I have a ST175/80 D 13 sized trailer tire which I measured to be just about 24" in diameter and the 25" cover fit perfect. Not too tight and not too loose.

Fits the tire but rips pretty easy

Not the heaviest duty cover, but the quality is definitely up to the price. Fits the LT225/75 R16 spare on my RV like a gloveThe one I received is black on the inside, maybe heavier than the pictured torn covers white on the inside. Black vinyl W/non-woven black backing..I'm satisfied with the price vs. quality.

For some reason...maybe it's the ad picture, I thought this was going to be dark grey...it's solid black. Oh well, it does the job.

We bought this because we added a bike hitch to our Rav4 and noticed that the bikes would skuff the factory tire cover (which on a Rav4 matches your vehicle paint finish). We didn't want to worry about it so this was an affordable solution during the summer when we would use the bike rack more.It fits really nicely with our Rav4 (our SUV is blue). It fits the tire perfectly and doesn't look odd or anything like that. We thought we'd put the original back during non biking seasons but it's really not that bad to look at so just left it alone.

Very good value for price. Fit well and looks good. May not hold up as well as the more expensive ones, but I have not had it long enough to tell. It did survive the Alaska highway on a 1998 Rav 4 with a spare-tire mount bicycle rack installed over it.Works well with companion product GINOVO Reflective Car stickers RAV4 Sports Spare Tire Wheel Decal White Color 60cm, also available on Amazon. Together they look very close to OEM wheel cover look.Better than what I was expecting for the price

I purchased this cover for the spare tire on my travel trailer. I lost a "Factory Logo" cover on one of our trips out I-10 near Palm Springs.This unit was a little oversized for this spare tire. Pulling out the elastic cord and tying the cord a knot in it took care of that issue. We went on a 300 mile round trip and the cover never moved or made an attempt of doing so.I would recommend this product to any RVer looking for a "Replacement" spare tire cover for their RV.

Better material than most the cheap covers but wish it overlapped on the inside of tire farther.

Well made, good material. Buyer beware on the size however. I bought the 24" to 25" for a 24" tire and it is a huge struggle to get it around my 24" tire.

The cover was exactly as expected and fit the tire perfectly. The craftsmanship did not leave me wanting and was exactly as I had expected. I would say that this is not a heavy duty cover and installation should be done evenly and without trying to overstretch the cover. I found myself pulling a bit harder than I probably should have to have the cover tuck into a narrow groove and partially poked a hole in the material.

As I mentioned it was really an over taxing thing I did and I would consider this a 5-star product if it had exceeded my expectation. A good cover at a reasonable price and fit as expected.

Tip: Be sure you locate the seam of the outer ring before you install the cover so you can decide if you want it to be at the bottom of the tire. The cover has an overlap seam on the outer ring that would probably be best to hide on the bottom side of the tire.

I bought one about 1" larger than I needed and it works fine. Stays on without any issues and blocks the sun. We'll see how it holds up over the winter. It does tend to collect a little water at the bottom, so I added some drain holes.

These covers fit nice and snug on 225/75-R15 trailer tires and have stayed put in some pretty high wind storms. They reach just about midway of the sidewall on the back side so coverage is good if the spare mounted up against a camper but could be a little better if mounted exposed on the tongue of the trailer. I have not seen any with full back side coverage so no mark down for that. How they last through a couple of summers will be the true test as others have not even lasted for their rated warranty period so time will tell if this rating goes up or down.

Fits my spare fine and only time will tell how it will hold up. Seems adequate.

All I really want is to shield one of my spare tires from the harsh Nevada sunlight.This tire cover should fill the bill for a few years.After reading a few of the reviews on this product, I believe that it will be great for the smaller vehicles that are more likely to use a rim diameter of 15".The F-250 I drive has an LT235-75R16 and after stretching and tugging on it for over 20 minutes the cover shields the tire from most of the upper portion from sunlight.The only thing I can say is this will do the job, but in the future, I will look for a cover that is larger size in order to sufficiently protect the entire circumference.I failed to actually go out and measure the circumference as when I saw the words "Large Universal Spare Tire Cover", I said to myself "That's it, that's the one I need to order."Having said that, the sunlight with its UV rays will destroy a new tire in a few years that sits outside year in and year out.A tire cover is a must for a person wishing to keep two spares available for the vast rural outback roads in some areas in this great country.

After several years of service, this cover now requires occasional repairs with duct tape (much like the 1989 Isuzu Trooper to which it's attached), but it's hanging in there. Plus, any auto accessory named "Bully" deserves style points. I thought it might fall off as it got older and the plastic got less flexible, but it hasn't.

I bought this tire cover to replace the original cover on my 1999 Honda CR-V, which had dry-rotted and was hanging in bits by the time I got around to replacing it. This cover definitely improves the look of my car, but the fit is perhaps not as universal as I would have liked. It fits pretty snugly until it rains...then water gets trapped in the tire cover and I find myself constantly having to dump out the filthy water to get rid of the unattractive bulge at the bottom. I wish there was a drawstring or some other way of tightening the elastic for a more secure fit. Otherwise, this is a decent tire cover for the price.

I got this for my spare tire for my horse trailer. The string that holds the cover on was difficult to tighten and keep tight when you tied it in a knot. We almost lost the cover on our first trip with it. Replaced the string with an elastic string. It holds much better now. Other than that, I'm happy with it.

This cover is okay. It's decent quality for the price, but it's way too big for my Honda CRV tire so it doesn't look nice. Works OK though so I decided to keep it. I just had to cinch it up a bunch and it's all puckered up and wrinkly around the edges. Guess that's what you get when it's "universal".

Quality is OK but the sizing info on Amazon are not correct. If your tire has a diameter of 26, I recommend you buy the cover for a 27 tire .... ie, add 1 inch to the diameter of your tire.

Fit very tightly when it was cold, now that the weather has warmed up, it's looser. This is both good and bad; good in that it's easier to get on/off, bad in that it's not as taught. I use it to cover a spare tire in the back of my Volt; so I can't comment on outside endurance. It's fairly thin material, any thicker would've been harder to get it on when cold; but would've kept its shape better when warm.

Not a slam on the product but I just didn't like them. They're made well enough but I returned it because it was very white and didn't look right on my travel trailer. That said, they will do the job and they're not expensive at all.

I'm sending this back. While it's very high quality. It barely wraps around the back of the tire. And I bought one size larger. The purpose of the cover is to keep the tire out of the sun so it doesn't dry rot. But on a trailer spare tire mounted in the tongue the entire back side of the tire is still exposed.

Very nice cover. Looks great, fits perfectly. I have it on a boat trailer 13" wheel ST17580R13. My only complaint is that it has a cloth interior. I had one just like it but without the cloth on the inside. Fit just the same and lasted a long time. When I get my boat home I always wash the cover because most of the time a little bit of the tire and cover submerge when I launch the boat. I don't want saltwater to eat away at either the rim or the cover and when I wash this one it takes a long time to dry. I suspect the cloth will deteriorate quickly, but I could be wrong. If this was on a tire that never went into the water it would still hold water if exposed to rain. I don't know why you would put the cloth in it at all. You can't see it and it does not have an upside from my point of view. Hopefully it is not going to be an issue but only time will tell. If the only problem is extended drying time, then no big deal. We'll see.

Just buy and official tire cover. These break rather fast.

Too small to fit. Though it was advertised to fit our tire's size, we had to open a seam and remove the elastic to get it to fit our tire. Then we inserted our own rope to pull it tight again. Otherwise, the quality of the material and craftsmanship seems good and we hope for a long product life.

Very disappointed with the quality/durability of this item! Took 1 600 mile trip and it got shredded!!!Definitely do not buy if you're planning long distances ... for local travel at slow(er) speeds I'm sure it will hold up (a little bit) better.

Read lower reviews. They are 100% true. Ours is still intact and on, but it's outer shell has torn and is ugly. Lowest possible materials and manufacturing used. But that's most likely already assumed.

Fit great but very low quality. Mine ripped in the first 200 miles with some wind. Could not have been much as the spare is right behind my towing vehicle that blocks the air travel. Again, the fit was great so there was no flapping what so ever. It's just, really really thin material. For the price however... I could not expect much.

This tire cover was advertised to fit "tires having 26.5-29.5 inches of diameter". However, the diameter of the front seam alone is 30". I ordered this cover for a tire 26.5" in diameter, but it was so large the front seam extended all the way into the center of the tread and was very loose. It looked ridiculous so I sent it back.This should be advertised to fit tires 30" in diameter and up. I thought perhaps I had received a larger version by mistake, but the bag clearly had a CM-02 label on it. Very disappointing.

The stitching is not very tight, but the material seems durable, time will tell if it holds ups. Either way because the stitching appears loose I will purchase another brand in the future.

Not sized to descrption. Bought 24" for a 24" tire. It took an hour to stretch it on. I'll probably have to cut it off when I need the spare.

It fit and looked great for about the first month it was installed. Then the white vinyl turned an unattractive yellow-brown wherever it contacted the tire. It's still white in the center. Note that the cloth lining did not change color, just the outer vinyl layer, so it wasn't a transfer of material from the tire itself. Must have gotten too hot in the sun. Get a black one.

in only a couple of weeks it became discolored and looks like it is years old already. It is nice and thick and it fit perfectly...but the white just doesn't stay that way. I think next time I will see if it comes in black, or grey then it would be perfect

They said to measure the diameter of tire, when I went to put it on it was very tight, the box had all the tire sizes on itCome to find out I needed the next size up.

Great fit however it's turned yellow after one month. I have a fourteen year old cover for a smaller tire that is still white and has not changed

Very loose fit on my 15 inch spare. After just 8 miles down the road the "black" on front began to wear through. Will probably tear in the next few miles. Very , very thin and cheaply made.Save your money and buy one that you can feel and touch to examine quality.vmh

I shopped around for a cover and this one seemed to fit the bill. It was the right size for my tire, the reviews seemed ok, and the price was right. It arrived promptly and it looked great and was a perfect fit.Then, after just ONE HOUR of driving around with it on my spare, it literally blew apart. The seam exploded and now it looks like it went through a shredder. Again, one hour of driving and this thing disintegrated. Maybe I got a bad one, or some bad stitching. At any rate, I'm returning this defective thing and will hopefully find something that will actually function.

Needed a cover for a 205/70-15. The cover is much bigger than expected. Should fit truck tires (225-70 and larger) great, but too big for SUV.Update: I have since downgraded my rating from 2 star to 1 star.My Reasons:- When it rains the water pools in the bottom of the cover, even though it has the slit on the bottom for easy installing, the cover is so big that it bunches up on the bottom and water collects. Having rubber sit in water is not good for the tire life. In the winter you get ice forming inside.- This does not last when exposed to the sun. This is not desirable on a car that is used as a daily driver. The material hardened after a few months and started to crack. It is no where near as flexible as it was when new.

I put this on my spare, located on the side of my trailer, and drove about 90 miles at speeds of 55 mph or less. When I got home this cover was shredded. It's as if it were made of wet tissue paper. Really poor quality for what it is used for and totally mis-named a "Bully"... more like a wimp.

I guess you get what you pay for. This cover went on OK, just a drawstring around the back of the attached tire, and maybe because mine was a bit too big,(I still don't know where the measurements are supposed to be taken for an accurate fit) the cover flapped and flapped in the wind as we drove and shredded the cover to bits. I had tried to tighten it down, but guess I didn't do a good enough job. If this was only operator error, I would have given this a star or two higher rating, but I really think this is just poorly designed and poor quality.

For the price, I knew to manage my expectations for the quality of this cover, but the drawstring broke off when I was installing it for the first time. You will never get it to look like the picture. It has wrinkles and gathers everywhere, and the moment you try to tighten it securely onto your car, the flimsy drawstring breaks. Do not buy.

Don't waste your money. Installed on spare tire of car hauler. Tore and blew off after about 50 miles. The previous cover was 7 years old and had simply become sun baked and unsightly. This new cover didn't make it 7 hours. It was the right size and installed correctly. It is junk.

Do not buy this junk. After the first time it rained the outside started turning brown. It is now so terrible looking that I am going to toss in the garbage. Waste of money.

My tire measures 25" this doesn't come close to fitting waste of my time and money

Not durable. Cannot withstand wind. We traveled to Portland and the cover shredded before we got there. Did not one long trip.

A lot smaller than advertised scame
