    Rivian wil not calibrate aftermarket wheels / tires

    Agree. I have first hand experience with this. I swapped out my OEM all-terrain 20s to Pirelli AS3+ 20s and the El Segundo service center was able to recalibrate my truck to the 21s because of the similar specs.

    LA to Mammoth

    We make frequent trips to Mammoth from LA and we usually make stops at Inyokern and Bishop. We recently stopped at the Olancha RAN but only on the way back to LA. I wasnā€™t sure if it was really up and running when we went up Friday night and didnā€™t want to be stuck in the middle of the night...

    Replace windshield or live with the crack?

    I got it replaced because Safelite deemed it unrepairable. My insurance didnā€™t reimburse for the tint. I didnā€™t bother telling them since itā€™s technically illegal to have full windshield tint in CA and figured they wouldnā€™t have reimbursed for it anyways.

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    From LA to Zion itā€™s quite a bit of some up hill especially to Las Vegas. And it was hot!!!! Like 100+!! In Barstow it was 110 and in Mesquite it was 120 while we charged.

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    We just completed our trip to Zion from LA. Charged at Barstow then at Mesquite. All on conserve mode. From Barstow to Mesquite I charged to 98% and was left with 60 miles to spare. Autocamp Zion has chargers so that was super helpful so we didnā€™t have to battle other EVs at the park. Highly...

    I actually donā€™t have concerns. I just completed a trip from LA to Zion and was very happy with the way the tires handled and the improvement in range. Iā€™ll post soon my numbers.

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    The service center had to request the software to do the recalibration. That took time but once they had it, it took like 30 mins in to install.

    Yeahā€¦they didnā€™t give me a hard time. It was $100 for it and I was in the service center for about 2 hrs.

    I havenā€™t had the chance to try. If and when I do, Iā€™ll post a report. The ride comfort alone would be worth the switch.

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    So I actually had the El Segundo service center re-calibrate to the 21s yesterday. I was getting a 3mph difference and now I am getting 1-2 mph difference. The range estimate has also changed. For the first 3600 miles I was getting 2.38 mi/kWh. I have driven about 120 miles since...

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    I went to a local tire shop because Americaā€™s Tire in CA wonā€™t sell them because the load rating is not the same.

    Ok, thanks. Iā€™ll give them a call and explain to them my exact switch.

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    Iā€™ll talk with them again. They said the only thing that will change is the estimated range screen. The one that shows conserve, all-purpose, and sport modes

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    Rivian support told me I didnā€™t need it since I wasnā€™t changing wheel sizes. They told me just to reset my history.

    Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    Here is what I got after driving a little over 1k. Iā€™ll be doing a couple road trips to San Diego and Mammoth over the next week. It will be interesting to see what I will get. So far Iā€™m happy with the switch. Especially with the ride comfort.
