Abstract

A rear tire hitch receiver is mountable to the hub of a vehicle's rear-mounted tire, and it is configured to receive a hitch-mounted bicycle carrier, cargo rack, or other similarly mounted implement to the rear of the vehicle. The tire-mounted configuration permits a user to conveniently open a vehicle's rear door without removing the hitch-mounted implement, and it does not interfere with the vehicle's rear-view camera. The rear tire hitch receiver includes a yoke and an optional bolt mounting ring to secure the rear tire hitch receiver to a wheel mounted on the rear of a vehicle, and it further includes a wheel bumper to provide an additional secured point of contact against a wheel and an optional tire strap to secure the rear tire hitch receiver around the rear-mounted wheel.
