After not having a spare tire for a while, I finally picked one up for $200 online (like new condition). I would think this is a fair price.

Of course, it did not come with the covering case. Can anyone recommend any "aftermarket" cases or any other way for the SC430 spare tire look less ugly in the trunk?

Thank you

 

I think you can buy the kit minus the tire. I have mine covered with a bicycle wheel cover. Not perfect but keep me from getting tire marks on my clothes when leaning in.

 

I have mine covered with a cover designed for spare tires mounted on the back door of Jeeps and other SUVs. It's very thick and won't tear, and has elastic around the opening so it's easy to get on and off. It also leaves the interior cavity of the wheel available for jumper cables or other items which take up room when I put the spare into the trunk for road trips. In case I ever have to use it, I also have a hefty lawn bag stuffed in there for the flat, which might have to go in the back "seat" if the trunk is full of luggage. Put some gloves in there, too.
Merry Christmas.

 

Sewell will sell you a truncated kit. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

Seriously though, Sewell will work with you on what you need and sell you a semi-custom kit. If you have the tire and need everything else, they will do that for you. They did for me.

 

Thanks for the input, if I can't find a decent tire cover I'll probably just leave it as is.
