Folks, I find the postings that combine the good stuff w/ some candid critique to be the most helpful. And that includes baseless, totally uninformed speculation about what could come later - e.g. different paint colors, plausibility of suspension lift - based on R1 experience or Rivian's past...
Just for baseless speculation - thoughts on whether MY28 might bring different colors as soon as 2nd production year? Did that happen for R1?
Default choice is Glacier White but have time to wait - would like to see Red Canyon, Compass Yellow, and/or California Dune just based on R1s I've...
Looks like someone ratted-out TR for a premature spill?
"On-Road All-Terrain tires -may be- branded with the M+S and three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbols are sometimes used as Original Equipment (O.E.)"
This gets curiouser and curiouser...
"The Streisand effect is a phenomenon where...
A dedicated tire can get double-secret/weird/mysterious at launch. And probably $$$ to replace like-for-like. I've poked around TR a bit, 60/55/R20 is really hard to find w/ 3PMSF, perhaps due to dimension ratios?
TIre Rack is presenting 'T/A' and 'T/A+' as distinct offers, latter is tied to Rivian.
"Trail-Terrain T/A+ is severe snow rated and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol."
There's been a very strange exception floating out there re: BFG T-T T/A ATs: the 20" size specifically for R2 has seemingly lacked 3PMSF AW tag but all other sizes have it. Is this really the case? Seems weird + stupid.
That said, I'm now seeing BFG T-T āT/A+ā on Tire Rack, so maybe R2 size...
Perhaps Rivian needs to redirect some engineers towards career broadening?
"Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines (queues), analyzing processes such as customer arrivals, service times, and the number of servers to optimize system performance and reduce waiting times. It...
Can you elaborate any further re: fit in front? Head vs. sunroof framing, shoulder & elbow vs. B-pillar, knees vs. dashboard, and hip point vs. other SUVs youāve experienced?
I'll be watching to see if R2's BFG size really doesn't get 3PMSF tag - seems like a very strange exception for the T-T T/A lineup -
If not, I have no interest in these tires and their noted efficiency sacrifices - would rather have the Pirelli AS on those nifty 20" AT wheels. Anyone...
Agree with this - even if it means getting stuck w/ non-3PMSF (AW) BFG 20" ATs - one set and done. I'd prefer the factory install the Pirelli 20" AS on the Performance AT rims instead, if not anything AW. We'll see.
If it turns out the 20ā BFG ATs arenāt 3PMSF then I really donāt want them at all. Perhaps factory would put 20ā Pirelli AS on Performance 20ā wheels instead?
