Crossing tires from left to right side does not always work. My Michelin X-ice snow tires are directional install only so crossing the tire to the opposite side results in wrong way rotation. Make sure you are not using tires that can only roll in one direction if you are using the...

I had two jacks that were both 2 ton jacks. I used one front and one back on my Rivian. Both jacks failed after a few tire changes. The jacks were old and the seals failed so they would not lift the truck. They did not fail structurally. I bought 2 new 3 ton jacks from Harbor Freight...

I bought these tires last August from Discount Tires and put them on my R1T in November. I bought them for driving in the snow and it turns out they are not a great snow tire. I removed them in December and replaced them with a dedicated snow. These tires have about 700 miles of paved...

I just had a lengthy conversation with a Michelin rep who was able to find a reference to a Defender 275-55-21 tire. It is now in preproduction but will not be available until fall of 2024. That was the best info she could provide. The 275-50-21 will be available in July of 2024. So maybe...

I just called Tirerack. Rep said I could pre order and would have to pay for them now. The estimated delivery date has been pushed back to mid or late July. They do not list the tire on their site. You have to call them or use the chat function to order. I wonder why when I contacted...

I just got this email from Michelin. My plan was to ride the Pirellis until the Defender came out but the Scorpions are not going to last through the summer. I think I will have to find a 20 inch wheel and buy 275/60-20 tires so I don't have to reprogram and will still be able to use my...

Another alternative is a product called SilPruf it's a silicon based structural adhesive that will allow the removal of the hood ornament with out damaging paint or metal. I used it to glue brackets on top of my Sprinter van to hold my solar panels to the roof. They have worked for 6 years...

Research using methyl methacrylate adhesive. It was developed to hold the tiles on the space shuttle. Only problem is once glued on to the hood you will not get if off without damage to the Rivian. No holes required. Available from Amazon...

Filed my amended return electronically using Form 8936, rev. January 2023. Received by IRS 11 September 2023. Still no check. Three calls in last 3 months and nothing other than " it's taking longer than usual " from the person on the phone. Almost 8 months. At least it has not been...

My amended return was received by the IRS on 11 Sep 2023. I called the IRS today to find out the status and was told it has not been assigned for review. It has been 25 weeks since they received the 2022 amended return and all they could tell me was to call back in 30 days. Has anyone else...

I use it every time I drive. Works fine. No problems.

In my experience, there are several things that cause highway assist and or adaptive cruise control to disengage. I have gotten the "take control" warning while driving in thick fog, snow, rain, curves in the road, obscured white lines on the shoulder or the centerline, and when there is a...

I think the number of Rivians per capita in Park City Utah is higher than anywhere in the country. I have been at a stop light with a Rivian in front, behind, and beside me. It's normal to see at least 3 or 4 Rivians when I drive 2 miles to the grocery store. They are everywhere, and our...

still interested. are they still available?

I have used snow mode lots in the last week. You, as a driver, can do the same thing snow mode does by using proper acceleration and regeneration pedal technique but tire choice will also determine how effective snow mode can be. Where it's really effective is when you have to rapidly pull...

if you are driving through Salt Lake any time soon I will buy them. Not sure what shipping would be but if it's no more than $50 I would buy them if you can ship. I don't care if the key number can be seen by anyone.

When I started looking for snow tires last August I either did not find the X-ice or thought they were not the proper load range, can't remember. I have always bought Blizzak or X-ice tires for my cars. After driving for a month on the WildPeaks I knew I needed a better winter tire. I saw a...

In September I purchased WildPeak tires and put them on a set of Dodge wheels. In early December I removed my original 21s and installed the WildPeaks on my "T". I was not happy with their performance in the snow. They were great when crawling out of a foot of snow and could easily creep...

What is the total charger on your battery? when the battery is getting near full, I'm pretty sure the battery management system starts to throttle the charge rate down.

I had to tell DT they were for my 2012 dodge Ram 1500. That was for Falken Wild peaks. 275/ 60 / 20. When I Initially told them they were going on a Rivian they said they could not do it so I ordered on line and when I went there to have them mounted I told them they were for a Dodge. I took...
