Hummer H1, H2, H3 Spare Tire Covers: A Collector’s Buying Guide
Mai
Hummers are unusual vehicles to shop accessories for. Most of them are no longer in production, the owners are unusually attached to keeping them running, and the original aesthetic — military-derived, deliberately uncompromising — is half of why people bought them in the first place. A spare tire cover for a Hummer is less of a casual accessory and more of a design decision about how the rig should age.
The other thing that makes Hummers different is the size. The H1 in particular has spare tires that are enormous by modern standards — 37 inches, mounted on the back of a vehicle that was already wider than most parking spaces. Off-the-shelf covers from generic suppliers usually do not go that big. Custom sizing is the rule, not the exception.
Across the H1, H2, and H3, the design priorities also shift. Collectors tend to want covers that honor the military heritage. Daily-driver H2s lean toward luxury aesthetics that pair with the chrome and the SUT bodies. Ranch and security-detail H1s want something practical that takes weather. All three are doable.
Here is what to know about sizing and design before ordering a cover for any of the three Hummer generations.
Hummer H1 takes a 37-inch spare tire cover for stock 37×12.50R17 tires. The H2 takes a 33-inch cover for stock 315/70R17. The H3 takes a 32-inch cover for stock 265/65R17. The military heritage of the lineup pairs particularly well with subdued tactical designs and Marine Grade Vinyl in matte finishes.
Hummer sizing by generation
- Hummer H1 (1992–2006). 37-inch cover for stock 37×12.50R17 tires. The military-grade rubber that defined the H1 silhouette.
- Hummer H2 (2002–2009). 33-inch cover for stock 315/70R17 tires.
- Hummer H3 (2005–2010). 32-inch cover for stock 265/65R17 tires.
- Lifted H2 or H3 builds running 35-inch all-terrains. 35-inch cover, custom sized.
Design themes that fit the Hummer aesthetic
- Military heritage and tactical. Subdued olive, sand, or matte-black designs reflect the H1’s HMMWV origins and look right on any of the three generations.
- US flag and patriotic. H1 and H2 owners often pair the vehicle with American-flag tributes — the read is consistent with the military lineage.
- Veteran tribute. Service-branch insignia, unit tributes, and in-memory-of dedications all sit comfortably on the back of a Hummer.
- Luxury and chrome. H2 SUT and limousine builds tend to want a silver-and-black aesthetic that complements the chrome trim rather than fighting it.
Best material for a Hummer cover
Most Hummers live outside — collector storage spaces, ranch yards, security-detail lots. The material recommendation reflects that.
Marine Grade Vinyl ($169) is the right call for any climate the H1, H2, or H3 sees regularly. The up to 5 year outdoor lifespan and the matte finish suit the vehicle aesthetic without needing maintenance.
PU Leather ($129) works well for H2 daily drivers that want an OEM-style finish on the cover — the matte, leather-like surface integrates cleanly with chrome trim.
Polyester ($69) is fine for occasional-use H1 collectors who keep the vehicle in a climate-controlled garage and only bring it out for shows.
Frequently asked questions
Will the Hummer colors fade in direct sunlight?
All five materials use fade-resistant UV printing, but they hold up differently. Marine Grade Vinyl is rated for up to 5 years of outdoor life, PU Leather and PVC for up to 3 years, and Polyester for up to 2 years. Marine Grade Vinyl and PU Leather render Hummer designs sharpest.
Does the cover come with a backup-camera hole?
Yes — included free on every cover. Choose the “with camera hole” option at checkout. The hole is centered and sized to fit any factory or aftermarket camera position.
Can I customize the design with a name, unit, or family logo?
Yes. Free design proof, no extra cost, no minimum order. Send the wording or logo at checkout, or use the custom spare tire cover page.
I have an H1 with stock 37s. Is a 37-inch cover available?
Yes. We cut to 37 inches (and beyond on request). Custom sizing is free on every order — the size is built to your spare, not pulled from a stock-size shelf.
Where does the spare mount on an H1?
Most H1s have a rear-mounted spare on either a swing-out carrier or directly on the tailgate. The cover wraps the wheel itself, so the mount type does not affect the fit.
