step 1
Thoroughly clean your spare tire before installation to remove any tire shine or oils.
For best results, use a tire brush and Dawn dish soap to scrub both the tread and sidewall thoroughly.
Garbage Bag Trick: Prior to installing the tire cover, drape a large garbage bag over your spare tire and tear a hole in the garbage bag to allow your camera to peek through. This can create a smoother surface, making it easier to slide on the cover.
Step 2
Position your tire cover, making sure the design is level and straight. The split in the tread band indicates the bottom of the cover—do not pull on this split during installation.
Next, locate the integrated backup camera port in the center of the tire cover.
Carefully align it with your Bronco’s backup camera stalk and gently press the camera ring over your Bronco's camera stalk—a light push is all you need!
Step 3
Start by gently pulling the top of the cover over the upper edge of the tire tread.
Then, working downward from the top, continue pulling the cover fully over the tread and around to the back of the tire.
As you go, smooth out the front and pull any extra material toward the back.
Continue adjusting until the material is evenly distributed, sits straight without any twists, and fits snugly all the way around.

We get it—creases can sometime happen during shipping or installation. No worries, though. Here's a quick guide to help you smooth them out:
Proper Installation:
Make sure the tire cover is centered during installation—an uneven fit can cause tugging and creases.
As you pull the cover over the tire, smooth out the front and work any extra material toward the back. Adjust until the cover is evenly distributed and snug all the way around.
Warm Temperatures or Sunlight:
Install your tire cover on a warmer day in direct sunlight. The heat will make the material more flexible, making the install easier and naturally smoothing out those creases.
For keeping your tire cover in top shape, we suggest giving it a gentle hand wash with a mild soap.
Oh, and don't forget, ALWAYS remove your tire cover before hitting any automatic car wash—touchless included! Most car wash spots want all aftermarket accessories off, so play it safe and follow their guidelines/coverage options for a worry-free experience!
