Re: WTF..Damm It..!!!! GD Tire Cover...Is It Me..???
After a month, it will stretch out. My 33" Bestop cover was a bitch the first time, but got better after it was stretched on the tire for a while.

I had the same problem and went back they gave the wrong size (so there are two sizes) second one fit like a charm but does happen to come off in the car wash every once and a while.

This one is designed to fit both size tires, an it's an autherized GM Design. Even has the "GM" Label. But ..I woulld assume it will slip on the smaller H3 tire easier.

Re: WTF..Damm It..!!!! GD Tire Cover...Is It Me..???
Best way I found to install the Bestop was to pull it completely over the top of the tire, then work it downward with the fingers. Why no draw cord? The majority never liked the drawcords on older style covers, because they would come loose over a period of time. Let's face it, how often will you remove the cover, if you don't do a lot of off-roading? Most will put it on, and forget about it until they trade in the vehicle.

Does your rig have the 33" Tires..??
You Know.. I did try it that way.. I put it on at the top and tried to work it around. When I got near the bottom... it just wouldn't go any more ..!! I mean it just locked up. That dam felt type material grabs like hell on the rubber tire.
It's on now... so screw it. Come April I'm headen out to Paragon Park for the HUMMER Thang to chunk some mud.. I'll take it off before I go. Then When I come back , I'll put on the new Gay Hard Cover I Got. If I don't like what it looks like I'll sell it to a Jeep owner...

Thanks Big Z... Might work well on the 30" tire but on the 33''s it's still a PITA... Tried it before...she's a no go over the tire easy..

Yeah... What's up with that. If I was designing a cover..it would be Vynal lined and would have pull cords and or Vel-Cro to pull it tight together. That Felt gack on the underside just grabs the tire.. and you have to fight the elastic cord to get it on.
Stupid..
