The OEM spare tire mount is simple, accessible, and practical, but it leaves the tire sidewall exposed to UV, road grime, brush, and impact. On an overland build, the rear-mounted spare also occupies a large visual and physical area without contributing function beyond storage.
The Salado Extended Spare Tire Cover redesigns that exposed mount as a structural object. Closed, it protects and visually finishes the spare tire. Open, it becomes a flat work surface for camp cooking, gear sorting, or field repairs. The design locks for transit and adjusts across tire sizes from OEM 195/80 R15 to 235/75 R15 oversized off-road setups, so the same tailgate area becomes protection and utility.
Universal Tire Fit
Accommodates all tire sizes from OEM 195/80 R15 up to 235/75 R15 oversized off-road tires. Adjustable to match the actual tire on the vehicle.
Folding Workbench
The outer face folds out to create a flat work surface — camp cooking prep, gear sorting, field repairs. Doubles the function of the spare tire mount.
Structural Cover
Hardened cover material protects the tire sidewall from UV, brush, and impact. Replaces fabric covers with a structural component that does more than cover.
