For years ( since 2013) I have been dropping the spare every 6 months, airing it up, touching up the rust on the rim. Now after 8 years, it has just gotten too bad. Bought a replacement rim and new tire. Going forward, to try and prevent the same in the future, I was thinking of coating the upper rim ( portion against the body) with "Fluid Film" and then covering with a tire cover.
Does anyone have experience with either or both of these ideas? Thought that the cover might trap moisture in but the rim is a bowl anyway and fills up with water and salt ( I live in the snow belt)
Do you put the cover on the top? or around the bottom?
No perfect answer. Just looking to see if anyone has any experience/ suggestions out there.
Thanks
