Yeah their warranty language is broad enough that it's problematic, and they're refusing to implement the steps that they outline in their own language (e.g. Rivian providing in writing that an accessory won't void the warranty). It will be very interesting to see what happens if they refuse to calibrate for another set of wheels for winter tires, which is a safety improvement for the customer, beyond the seemingly obvious issues associated with MMWA.
No camera recalibration needed? Some folks have claimed they had to do that too, by service, to the tune of $400.
Interesting, nope, not for me. There seems to be a lot of variance around it, the guy who called from the Denver one to confirm my appointment - thought they could do it by OTA initially. The tech who showed up said sometimes it takes 5 minutes and other times 3 hours. He was in and out in 10 minutes and they did it via mobile service. Super great experience tbh from my side. But he had a laptop and some other items I didn't notice I'm detail to do it.
Looks good. No concerns over a slightly smaller sidewall for off roading? I know it’s only half an inch and the 65r20’s aren’t very big as far as sidewalls go anyway,..That's what I did...I went with 275/60/20 Wildpeak AT3W's on my R1S with aftermarket wheels. I came from 22s as well, so no correction/recalibration needed.
It's only a 0.55" difference, as far as the ground is concerned. Not enough to matter. Offset of the wheel's face/spokes from the sidewalls is more of a concern when off-roading. But, because of Rivian's specs and suspension, there isn't much we can do about that. This is why Thuren designed their wheel to be 0.5" narrower, to place the spokes and tire valve more in-board. Better for off-roading, at slight sacrifice of on-road handling.
Thanks, and no...no concerns. As you noted, it's a marginally smaller diameter...however, it is somewhat of a requirement for someone with aftermarket wheels with a lower offset, so that there won't be any rubbing. FYI: My wheels are a +25 offset. Stock is +48.
How are those tires doing with efficiency?That's what I did...I went with 275/60/20 Wildpeak AT3W's on my R1S with aftermarket wheels. I came from 22s as well, so no correction/recalibration needed.
It's too soon for me to know...as I've only had the new wheels/tires on for a week and a half. But honestly, tracking efficiency is not my area of expertise...as I don't have the awareness or patience to track that on a trip by trip basis.
Your coming from 22" has me thinking, and I feel kinda dumb now, the recalibration from 20" to 275/60/20 probably makes more sense going to 22" instead of 21". The guessometer will probably be a lot closer with a little error built in.
Wow really? How’s the ride on the lower 44 max psi?
They make 2 versions, 115 (44 psi) and 119 (65 psi). I'm hoping he went with the latter, that's what I'm eyeing!
