After slipping the Valleycomfy Leather Steering Wheel Cover onto the tiller of the CR-V, my first thought was “luxury car.” The genuine leather has a high-end look and feel and is a pleasure for the palms. It fit the CR-V’s14.5-inch steering wheel like the proverbial glove but was a bit of a stretch and struggle with the Saturn’s 15-inch helm. The Valleycomfy is a little heavier than other covers I tested but that didn’t affect steering feel. It provided better grip than the other covers and gripped the steering wheel the best, although I wonder whether the leather would absorb dirt and sweat over time.

Maybe because the SEG Direct Black and Gray Microfiber Universal 15-inch steering wheel cover came from Amazon tightly shrink-wrapped, I had to wrestle with it more than the others to get it to fit on the CR-V’s 14.5-inch wheel. Even with it stretched out a bit, it was a struggle. Slipping this cover onto the 15-inch wheel of the Saturn reminded me of the adage “like socks on a rooster.” But I liked the muted black-and-gray look and its feel was second only to the leather Valleycomfy, although for the same price you can have genuine leather instead of faux leather. It also weighs a bit less, but that didn’t make an appreciable difference.
