Built for the Compass MK and MP — Jeep's compact crossover
The Compass is Jeep's compact-crossover entry — smaller than Cherokee, larger than Renegade. It's a daily-driver crossover that quietly sells in good volume to first-time Jeep buyers and small-family owners. Most Compasses stow a small temporary spare under the cargo floor; some trims (notably Trailhawk) carry a full-size matching spare. We size to whatever you've got.
- Compass MK (2007–2017) — first-gen unibody compact. Stock spare 215/65R17 typical, sometimes a smaller compact spare under the floor.
- Compass MP (2017–2021, US-spec; current globally) — second-gen unibody. Stock 215/65R17 (Sport / Latitude), 225/60R17 (Trailhawk with ATs), 235/55R19 (Limited / Overland on the larger 19-inch wheel).
- Compass Trailhawk (MP) — the trail-rated Compass. Active Drive Low, hill-descent control, 1-inch lift. Full-size matching spare in 225/60R17 ATs.
- Compass Limited / Overland — the upmarket trims. 19-inch wheels stock; usually a temporary compact spare in the underfloor compartment.
- Compass 4xe (2021+, Europe and selected markets) — the plug-in hybrid Compass. Battery placement may affect spare-stowage on some trims.
- Compass Latitude / Limited Anniversary editions — appearance trims. Same underlying spare spec as base trim.
Compass owners are typically practical first-time-Jeep buyers, often family-focused. The cover is mostly for the underfloor stowed spare, keeping it clean for emergencies. Trailhawk owners with full-size ATs often mount the spare on a roof rack or rear carrier — the cover works for either.
Free backup camera cutout, on every cover
All MP Compasses (2017+) have factory backup cameras in the tailgate. Most owners don't need a camera hole because the spare is stowed under the cargo floor. If you've relocated the spare onto a rear carrier, send us the camera diameter and offset and we'll cut a hole.
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.
Compass spare tire sizing — from underfloor compact to Trailhawk 225/60R17
Compass spares are smaller than most Wranglers. Use the lookup; if you've got a temporary compact donut, just measure the actual diameter (often 24–25 inches) and we'll size the cover.

Choose your material
Compass owners are paint-careful and resale-aware. Cover should look factory:
Polyester — $69 (Budget)
Lifespan 2–3 years. Drawstring cord attachment. Right pick for daily Compass drivers with the spare stowed under the floor — minimal UV exposure, low budget.
PVC — $99 (Waterproof)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. Best for owners with relocated spares (Trailhawk on a roof rack, e.g.). Snug elastic, waterproof.
PU Leather — $129 (Premium look)
Lifespan 3–4 years. Elastic band attachment. Premium grain that matches the upmarket Limited / Overland interior trim.
Marine Grade Vinyl — $169 (Heavy duty, printed and sewn in Florida)
Lifespan 5+ years. Drawstring cord attachment. What we recommend for outdoor-parked Compasses in the desert Southwest. UV stable, Florida-printed.
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. Marine spec plus integrated anti-theft lock. Worth it on Limited / Overland trims that park in city driveways.
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. | |

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: Crystal White Pearl Compass, Diamond Black Compass Limited, Granite Crystal Compass Trailhawk — we've matched them all. Send the code or a photo.
How the cover attaches to your Compass's spare
All Compasses stow the spare under the cargo floor as standard. The cover stays on the tire whether stowed or in use. Pick attachment by preference:
- 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.
Trailhawk owners with full-size matching ATs sometimes relocate to a roof rack — same cover spec works for relocated spares.

Frequently asked questions about Jeep Compass spare tire covers
Does the cover fit my Compass's underfloor temporary spare?
Yes — the cover wraps the tire whatever it is. Compact temporary spares are typically 24–25 inches overall; full-size Trailhawk spares are 27.6 inches. Measure the actual sidewall and enter at checkout.
What size do I need for the Compass Trailhawk?
Trailhawk runs 225/60R17 ATs stock, which is 27.6 inches (70 cm) overall. Sized to fit either underfloor or relocated rear-carrier.
Can I match the cover to my Granite Crystal Compass?
Yes — PXG Granite Crystal is in our library along with the rest of the Compass palette.
Will the cover work for the Compass 4xe (plug-in hybrid)?
Yes — the 4xe runs the same spare spec as the equivalent gas Compass trim. Battery placement under the floor may slightly limit stowage on some markets, but the cover fits the tire regardless.
My Compass has a compact donut spare. Will it look weird?
No — we size the cover to match the tire exactly. Compact spares get a smaller cover, full-size spares get a full-size cover. Both look clean and intentional.
Can I customize with a Compass MP silhouette and family name?
Yes — Compass MP silhouettes are common requests. Approval-first, free design.
How long does shipping take?
About 6–12 business days door-to-door, free worldwide.
Does the cover work for the older Compass MK (2007–2016)?
Yes — MK runs 215/65R17 stock (28 inches). Same fitment as MP base trims.
Will the cover survive Florida summer?
Yes — Marine Grade Vinyl is built for Florida summer (it's printed there). UV stable, 5+ year lifespan.
Can I get the Compass Trailhawk red tow-hook graphics on the cover?
Yes — Trailhawk red tow-hook graphics are popular customizations. We've drawn the front-and-rear hook layout, the trail-rated badge, and the Active Drive Low lettering.
My Compass spare is in a cargo-area side panel, not under the floor. Will it fit?
Yes — soft cover fits any stow location. Side-panel wells are common on certain Compass trims; the cover wraps the tire regardless.
Will the cover work for my Compass relocated spare on a roof basket?
Yes — relocated spares (roof basket, rear-bumper carrier, hitch carrier) all use the same cover. Drawstring is preferred for roof-mount stability through wind.
