[Tigers] Spare Tires - Non Tiger

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Hmm, I'm in the salt belt too. Sounds like I'd better  check the spare on 
my pick-up since I've never used it in 17  yrs:-)
Would be messy, but I bet a coat of axle grease with a  brush would keep it 
from rusting.

We've  had a couple vehicles where the spare tire is stored under the
back  end.  On both, the steel rimmed spare has rusted to s**t after a
few  years exposure up here in the salt and snow belt.  Now we're about
to  get another car that will have the same problem.  



I'm  tempted to give the spare rim about 8 coats of rustoleum, but I  was
wondering if anyone has ever seen a cover or something similar  that
could protect the spare from the elements.  Any ideas out  there?
