Tire stack wraps--where can I get them?

I have now ended up with 3 sets of tires and wheels for my Mini. What I would like to do is stack in sets in my garage, then cover with the "tire stack wraps" that you see in front of tire stores that have Goodyear, Michelin, Firestone, etc... on the heavy vinyl. The problem is I can't find where to get them. I have called the various companies and they won't sell them to non dealers. I have stopped by several dealers and they won't order any for me because I am not a dealer. I have called Tire Rack and in all honesty was kind of blown off by them I have looked on eBay, done a Google search and have come up empty.

Does any board member know where I can get (2) or possibly own a tire store where I can have you order (2) and I will PayPal you the money. I don't want them for free (would be nice of course) but I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Gene

I think this is more in line of what the OP was looking for.



Tire Rack and other vendors do carry these. Made by Kurgo it's called a Tire Garage.

Thanks, but...

I have seen all of the covers that the posters have linked to and I appreciate it. What I am looking for are the branded ones to add color and (style?) to my garage. You know the ones that have the tire companies name and colors on them.

Thanks, Gene

You won't be able to get them unless you can get a dealer to sell you some of his, if he actually even owns them. A lot of times things like those are considered advertising material and the dealer doesn't even actually "own" them. Bug some of you local tire dealers for a set.

Please call me - these will not be on the site







These are retail point of purchase displays - they are nowhere as durable against weather as the Kurgo counterparts

Thanks, Alex!

An email to Alex is on the way. They will never see anything but inside my garage so the weather will not be an issue.
