Time to make a decision - summer street tires or R Compounds?

My wife takes mass transit to work and rarely drives her car, so I've decided to drive her car for the summer, buy the R tires and park the Trans Am.

Indoor storage isn't an option, but I'd like to protect the car from the trees, bird, bus fumes, rocks, etc. Anyone recommend a good car cover?

Thanks....

I would stay away from any company that doesn't have that great of a name for themselves, especially if you like the paint on your car. This is what happened with a coverite on my car. How am I supposed to post pics here anyway?

The hood of my car gets this white area on the driver's side whenever it is covered and gets rained on. After a while it has gone away, but comes back after being covered and rained on. I know the paint isn't that great to begin with, but there is no excuse for this. I'm positive it is the covers fault because I had it on another car before this one and even my moms car for a week, those hoods had the same problem too. The box says that it offers all weather protection and that the car should be dry when covered to avoid damage to the paint. Funny how the car is always wet for days after it rains and when I pull the cover off... the car is wet underneath. So now my car is tucked away in the back of my driveway getting covered in pollen, sticks, and whatever dirt finds its way back there, just because the cover is horrible! The bad part is that I see these covers showing up at swap meets all the time now.
