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 had Covercraft Evolution 4 that I used outdoor for 2 years on my old 92 RS. The car had fairly nice paint, and the cover kept it clean. The car was parked around a tree and held up to the tree sap and snow. I washed the cover twice a year. The cover is very thick and heavy.

As mentioned though, you have to have a clean car before you put any cover on. And it will trap condensation after getting doused by heavy rain.

Now I have CCC's Noah that I use on my '02 that's parked in the garage. I don't think it would hold up to the rough weather up here, but that's strictly just by observing the materials by hand. Noah's supposed to be good enough for outdoor use.
