Camco 45250 wheel and tire protectors are black vinyl covers sold as a pair for tires with an overall diameter in the 36-to-39-inch range. They are intended for parked RVs, where sun and weather exposure can age tires and dull wheels between trips.
Testing note: RVGearScout has not performed hands-on testing of this product. This review is based on current manufacturer information and RV-specific buying considerations.
Quick verdict
These covers are a straightforward storage accessory when the measured tire diameter falls inside the specified range and the shape clears nearby bodywork. They help shield parked tires, but they do not extend a tire beyond its safe age, repair weather checking, or replace pressure and load management.

How it fits an RV setup
Measure the tire from ground to top at normal inflation rather than relying only on the size molded into the sidewall. Overall diameter can vary by manufacturer, load, and tread. Also check the clearance between dual tires, fenders, leveling components, and the ground so the cover can slide on without rubbing a sharp edge.
The black weatherproof-vinyl design favors easy wiping and a low-profile appearance. Dark material can absorb heat in direct sun, so compare black and lighter-color options for the storage climate. Install only after the wheel area has cooled and remove the covers before moving the RV.
What stands out
- Defined fit range: Camco identifies the pair for approximately 36-to-39-inch tire diameters.
- Parked-RV protection: The covers shield the sidewall and wheel from direct exposure to sun, dirt, and weather.
- Pair packaging: One package can cover one axle side or two individual wheels, depending on the RV layout.
- Simple storage: Flexible vinyl folds more easily than a rigid wheel enclosure.
Limitations and checks
A loose cover can flap, chafe paint, or disappear in wind; a tight cover can stress seams and be difficult to remove. Confirm retention before leaving the RV and inspect for trapped stones or grit. Let wet covers dry before folding to reduce mildew and odor.
Covers address exposure only. Continue checking cold pressure, tread, sidewall condition, DOT date codes, valve stems, wheel fasteners, axle loading, and the tire maker’s replacement guidance. Never crawl under an unsupported RV to adjust a cover.
Who should buy it?
Choose this model for a parked motorhome or trailer with measured 36-to-39-inch tires and enough surrounding clearance. Pick another size for smaller tires, and consider a dual-axle-specific cover when separate covers will not fit between closely spaced wheels.
Bottom line
The Camco 45250 pair is useful when sizing is treated as a measurement task, not a guess. It protects a parked tire’s exterior but does not change the tire’s mechanical condition.
