Hummer Spare Tire Covers
A Hummer spare tire cover from Wheel Shell is a custom-printed, weatherproof cover sized for the rear-mounted spare on the iconic H1 (the civilian HMMWV), H2 (mid-2000s mall-king), and H3 (compact mid-size). Built for the cult Hummer following — civilian H1 collectors, H2 daily-drivers, H3 trail rigs. Free centered backup-camera cutout, free worldwide shipping in 6–12 business days.
Built for H1 (civilian HMMWV), H2, and H3
Hummer ran from 1992 (H1 civilian release of the military HMMWV) through 2010 (H3 final year). The brand carried the spare on a rear-mount carrier across all three models. Our covers fit them all:
- Hummer H1 (1992–2006, civilian HMMWV): the original. Stock 37×12.50R16.5 → 37″ cover. Collector-grade and high-end overland builds.
- Hummer H1 Alpha (2006): final-year Duramax-powered H1. Same 37″ cover.
- Hummer H2 (2003–2009): the mid-2000s suburban favorite. Stock LT265/75R16 → 32″; lifted on 35s → 35″.
- Hummer H2 SUT (2005–2009): the H2 Sport Utility Truck variant. Same cover sizes as H2.
- Hummer H3 (2005–2010): the compact mid-size. Stock P265/65R16 → 30″; H3 Alpha (2008–2010) on stock 32″ → 32″.
- Hummer H3T (2009–2010): H3-based pickup. Same cover sizes as H3.
- GMC Hummer EV (2022–present): the new electric Hummer doesn't carry an external rear spare — cover doesn't apply.

H1 collector-grade restorations push to 37″–39″ covers — custom sizing free above 37″.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
H1, H2, and H3 generations all predate factory backup cameras integrated into the spare bracket. If you've added an aftermarket spare-mounted rear camera (common on H2 daily-drivers), select "with camera hole" at checkout. Otherwise leave as "no."
To add it, select the "with camera hole" option at checkout. We cut the hole during production — no special order, no surcharge, no production delay.

Choose your material
Hummers are split between collector-grade H1 restorations, H2 daily drivers and street kings, and H3 weekend trail rigs. Material spec depends on which.
Polyester — $69 (Budget)
Lifespan 2–3 years. Drawstring cord attachment. Best for H2 / H3 daily drivers in covered garages. Lightweight, easy to swap.
PVC — $99 (Waterproof)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. For H2 / H3 weekend trail rigs. Pressure-wash safe after a desert / rock-crawl day.
PU Leather — $129 (Premium look)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. The closest match to factory matte-black on H2 Adventure / H3 Alpha. Premium look without Marine Grade pricing.
Marine Grade Vinyl — $169 (Heavy duty, printed and sewn in Florida)
Lifespan 5+ years. Drawstring cord attachment. The recommended spec for H1 collector-grade restorations. H1 spares are 37″ collector items — Marine Grade Vinyl protects them through full-time outdoor exposure with 5+ year lifespan.
Marine Grade Vinyl Lux — $199 (Top spec, printed and sewn in Florida)
Same Marine Grade Vinyl spec plus integrated anti-theft lock — exclusive to Marine Grade Vinyl Lux only. For H2 / H3 parked in shared lots and city street parking — the Hummer aesthetic invites theft target attention.
Materials built for off-road use
| Material | Price | Lifespan | Durability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester Budget | $69 | Up to 2 yrs | Daily driver in covered parking or garage. Lightweight, UV-resistant, easy to swap. | |
| PVC Water-resistant | $99 | Up to 3 yrs | Trail rigs and weekend off-road use. Water-resistant, handles mud and brush scratches well. Clean with mild soap and water. | |
| PU Leather Premium look | $129 | Up to 3 yrs | Daily driver with OEM matte-black aesthetics. Best match for factory finishes on Jeep, G-Wagon, and Ford Bronco. | |
| Marine Grade Vinyl Heavy duty | $169 | Up to 5 yrs | Year-round outdoor parking, coastal humidity, desert sun, Arizona heat, sub-zero winters. 1mm heavy-duty construction, our most durable option. | |
| Marine Grade Vinyl + Anti-Theft Kit Top spec | $199 | Up to 5 yrs | Same Marine Grade Vinyl construction as above, with added locking anti-theft hardware. Best for high-visibility parking and long-term outdoor exposure. |
Cleaning note: Pressure washing is not recommended for any Wheel Shell cover, regardless of material. Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Pressure washing can damage the printed surface and shorten cover lifespan.
Color matching note: Matte PU Leather and Marine Grade Vinyl reproduce factory matte black most accurately. Glossy PVC and Polyester read as deep charcoal under direct sun. For OEM paint-match, send your paint code at checkout — we calibrate the print and send a proof before production.
Color matching: Hummer's factory color palette is iconic: Sand (military heritage), Pewter, Black, Yellow, Red, Gulf Blue, Stealth Gray (H1 Alpha), and the H3 Alpha colors (Slate Green, Birch White, Sandstone Pearl). Send the GM paint code at checkout — we calibrate the print to match. H1 military / civilian Sand color is one of the most-requested matches.
How it attaches to the H1 / H2 / H3 rear-mount spare
All three Hummer generations carry the spare on a rear-mount carrier (H1 swing-out, H2 / H3 rear-bumper or rear-tailgate). Cover slides on in under a minute:
- Elastic band (PU Leather, PVC): Stretches over the tire and grips behind the tread for a snug, factory-style fit.
- Drawstring cord (Polyester, Marine Grade Vinyl, Marine Grade Vinyl Lux): Wraps over the tire and tightens with a drawcord. Adjustable for any spare diameter.
Both attachment systems clear the H1's gunner-mount provisions, the H2's rear-tailgate handle, and the H3's license bracket.

Frequently asked questions about Hummer spare tire covers
What size cover for a Hummer H1?
H1 (civilian HMMWV) runs 37×12.50R16.5 stock → 37″ cover (our largest stock size). H1 Alpha runs 37×12.50R17 → 37″. Collector-grade H1 restorations on 39″–40″ tires take custom sizes — free at checkout.
What about a Hummer H2?
H2 stock (LT265/75R16) → 32″ cover. Lifted H2s on 35s → 35″. Both 4-door SUV and 4-door SUT pickup variants take the same cover sizes.
What about a Hummer H3?
H3 stock (P265/65R16) → 30″ cover. H3 Alpha (2008–2010) with stock 32-inch tires → 32″. H3T pickup uses the same sizes as H3.
Can I get a cover for an H1 collector-grade restoration?
Yes — for collector-grade H1 builds we strongly recommend Marine Grade Vinyl ($169). The 37″ spare is a centerpiece of the build, and Marine Grade's 5+ year UV-resistant lifespan protects the original tire from breakdown during long-term outdoor display.
Will the cover work with the new GMC Hummer EV?
No — the new GMC Hummer EV (2022+) doesn't carry an external rear spare. Cover doesn't apply. This category covers H1 / H2 / H3 (1992–2010) only.
Can I match my Hummer's factory paint?
Yes — common Hummer paint codes: Sand (military heritage), Pewter, Black, Yellow, Red, Gulf Blue, Stealth Gray (H1 Alpha), Slate Green / Birch White / Sandstone Pearl (H3 Alpha). Send the GM paint code at checkout. The Sand military heritage color is one of the most-requested matches.
How does it attach to the H2 rear-tailgate spare?
The cover slides over the spare and grips behind the tread (elastic band on PU Leather and PVC) or tightens with a drawcord (Polyester and Marine Grade Vinyl). The H2 rear-tailgate spare bracket and license bracket don't interfere — the cover wraps the visible face only.
Will the design fade in summer desert / Florida sun?
No — all materials use fade-resistant printing. Marine Grade Vinyl carries a 5+ year lifespan; PU Leather and PVC are rated for 3–4 years.
Can I customize with my H1 unit number, military heritage callout, or build name?
Yes — common Hummer customizations: H1 unit / fleet numbers (military heritage), H2 build names, H3 trail-rig identifiers, Operation Desert Storm / HMMWV typography callouts, Hummer brand silhouette + heritage graphics, "Made for the Apocalypse" / "American Steel" slogans. Free design proof, no minimum order.
Does the cover come with a backup-camera hole?
Yes — free on every cover. H1 / H2 / H3 generations didn't have factory spare-mounted cameras, but if you've added an aftermarket spare-mounted camera, select "with camera hole" at checkout.
How long does shipping take?
Free worldwide shipping, 6–12 business days with tracking.
What if it doesn't fit when it arrives?
Free returns + full refund within 30 days of delivery. No restocking fees, no return-shipping charge.
