This is the first tire I have ever bought and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this tire. I can say that this material is very durable and will do very well in its purpose of protecting my spare tire from the sun. I'm more interested in functionality than looks, and that's what surprised me the most. I can say that the material and craftsmanship will definitely do the job of surviving the brutal California sun, but it actually looks very pretty. The stitching and sight tube are perfect for my spare tire, a BFG T285/70R17 AT tire. I have to say that for the cost this is probably one of the best investments I have made on my jeep as the tires on these vehicles are not cheap and over time are more of a tire replacer than a spare. tires, from sunrot.
