It's always a good idea to carry your Jeep Patriot spare tire with you in or on your ride, and we actually recommend covering it up for a couple of reasons. Spare tire covers offer some level of theft deterrence, either through a locking mechanism or by simply relying on the "out of sight, out of mind" approach, which can actually be quite effective in most situations. Spare tire covers also offer protection from the elements, especially harmful UV rays, so your Jeep Patriot spare tire won't be dry-rotted and brittle when you need it the most.

Spare tire covers, much like license plate frames and hitch covers, have long been a way for us to personalize our rides. A cool Jeep Patriot spare tire cover offers a much larger billboard on which to display an artistic design, our favorite team's logo, or even to make a political statement. And since your Jeep Patriot spare tire is covered, it'll stay in better shape and will remain ready-to-use. There's nothing worse than having your spare tire with you, but not being able to use it because it's in no better condition than the flat tire you're trying to replace.
