Winter set up and euro trailer hitch

Daniel B · 11-30-2008, 11:55 AM

Here is my winter set up. Nokian 19" 255 tires.
And also how the euro trailer hitch looks like when its mounted and not.
When its not mounted you cant see it at all.
The summer pic is with the hitch cover on.

can you take a picture when the hook is not at the bottom if you see something when it's not on?

That is a great hitch, I assume you remove the entire lower panel when you use the hitch, and replace it when your not? Please confirm.
I would be willing to bet there is a demand for these hitches over here (U.S) I tried and was unable to get one both in the U.S. and Canada. Oh, by the way....nice looking X6.
Best,
Brian

When the hitch is away you just put a cover plate over.

But mine got the winter tire and the profile of the tire makes it look no good...
Not sure its the rims that makes the funny look ;-)

Hey Daniel B,

Since you are the man from the right area ever in this season, what's your opinion on these tires?!!?

PS: I noticed you also run on Nokians.

PS2: I just posted this to ruin Deda's belief in classic winter tires.

Daniel B · 12-03-2008, 06:06 PM

Some pics (in poor quality) of the trailer hitch cover.

akraptor · 12-03-2008, 06:20 PM

Daniel, how about the Nokians with spikes?!

Nice cover up of the hitch, btw.

Will check the brand of my Nokian tires mine is without spikes.
I never had winter tires with spikes. Think the ones without works great!
