OK, I'm going to be lazy here. I have a 2007 Coachman Chapparal 269 BHS 5'er. I am thinking of buying tyre gards to cover my tires while in storage. My storage facility is about 15 miles away and I have not measured the tire diameter to see what size tyre gard I need. Anybody out there have a Coachman Chapparal 5'er and know what size gards I need? The tires are 15".

"Tyre Guards" may "disappear" easily at a storage facility.
Consider some 45 gallon black trash bags with a heavy "mil" rating.
Pull tight over tire/wheel and "gather" at the bottom,
use a bag-tie to secure the excess, change every 4 months or so.
One size fits all - nobody will steal 'em.

A black bag will really up the temperature inside it and will not breathe. So I do not think that is a good plan. PM me with your email address and I will send you a scan of the size chart from the Type Gard box. But size #3 covers the most 15 inch tires. 27"-29" including the popular 225/75R15's.
A little web search says that it may have 205/75R15's, still size #3.

Baloney (Balogna)!
They're open at the bottom - and of course from the axle down in back. If more "breathing room" is needed a hole in the top will add to that.
If the storage facility is in Death Valley, it still could be a problem.
OP's choice - no bone to pick with the Tyre Guards - just that
they will easily "walk" right out of the storage facility.
Been there (storage facility) had things like that "go away" - even with on site security.
(Actually wheels & tires -tyres?- went away!)

Take a black marker pen and write your name on them! I stand by my earlier statements. Chris
