A device for protecting a tire affixed to a vehicle. The tire guard device includes an interlocking U-shaped guard member that forms a housing with an interior volume when connected with a second U-shaped guard member. Each guard member includes a sidewall and an open end with an exposed interface edge disposed along the sidewall, wherein the interface edges overlap to secure to enclose around the tire. An upper edge of the sidewall includes a lip that protrudes outward from the interior volume to prevent mice and other pests from accessing the tire. The sidewall includes a cutaway region on an interior side that can receive an axle extending from the tire. The cutaway region is sizable to the vehicle and allows for coverage of various vehicle and tire/wheel makes and models.
