In the UK a spare wheel cover is a 4x4 accessory covering the rear mounted spare wheel on 4x4 vehicles, these are often printed with a dealers name or something more fun such as the infamous two rhinos on the Suzuki Jeeps in the late 1980s made famous by Fred Cutler Manufacturing. Also known as a spare tire cover.[citation needed]
Spare Wheel covers are also used throughout the world, not just back in the Old Country. In areas such as Australia they are an essential as they protect the tyre-rubber from the destructive properties of the Sun's rays and also offer further protection in the harsh climate of the Australian Outback. Spare Wheel covers need to be removed once in a while and cleaned of internal dust and leaves and rain-water etc.
