OEM 22” tires on Rivians are also 115H.
I'm not necessarily advocating in the other direction either..BUT, my local mom & pop shop asked me (when I started inquiring about Tires and they were unable to source the Outpost nATs) if I *really* needed 10 ply, 115 rated tires. They were looking for the 'minimum viable' alternative.OEM 22” tires on Rivians are also 115H.
When the tire shop says they wouldn't install 115H tires on your Rivian - just go to another shop
Those look great! I really like the bronze and have been toying with the idea for my truck.Sorry for the delay everyone; I had some things come up.
But here are the 'dirty' photos I'd promised:
Early thoughts:
-These look better in person, for SURE. I thought they looked good on the website, and debated about color to go with my Limestone. I have ZERO regrets--I think these look great! And they feel great. Quality.
- The tire shop was impressed on 2 accounts. 1- they said these balanced WAY better than they anticipated. New wheel manufacturer (at least one they'd never worked with) AND 'big knobby All Terrains' as they put it typically take a bit of effort to get balanced, but they only used a few weights, most of which were 1/2 or 3/4 ounce. and 2- they liked how AW center caps are held in--there's a gasket in there, which will help to prevent water from pooling and rusting the hub more. They did have a bit of difficulty removing them because of this, but said they appreciated that, due to the likelihood they'll stay on the wheels and keep the hubs protected.
- As someone else mentioned--the lug wells are tight. I love the look, but make sure you have a thin walled set of sockets to put these bad boys on (if doing it yourself and for roadside reasons). I will say, I had purchased my jack pucks from EV Sportline and the socket they sent with that kit was perfect; and so that was my go-to for my torque wrench
- Driving: THESE ARE way louder than I anticipated (not the wheels fault; definitely the Nokians). I may play with tire pressure a bit to see if anything makes a difference. On paper, we should be running closer to 35-36 psi with these (load rating vs GVWR), but most people are running the 48. I decided to run 47 for my own reasons...for now. I'm also very concerned about range hit, but again..it's early days.
There's a chance that as these 'wear in' a bit, they get better with both noise and range hits. For now, they're quite sticky.
-As far as driving dynamics, the truck is SOLID with these on, and I think it even has better cornering/maneuverability than it did with the OEM 21s with Pirellis.
I was hoping to get the truck cleaned up this weekend and get a photoshoot together, but our forecast is looking gnarly, so we'll see.
Let me know if you have any questions!
The bronze looks great with Limestone. Can't wait to get mine mounted on Monday, I think the bronze + FG is going to look ?Sorry for the delay everyone; I had some things come up.

Make sure you post photos!
My only metric so far, on range, is taking my kiddo into school. A trip that takes 2-3% on most (nice) days took 5%. It essentially took me ~17 miles to go 9 (these are backroads where we don't exceed 50 mph--that said, there ARE some pretty steep inclines heading home).
Thank you for posting pictures and writing up!Sorry for the delay everyone; I had some things come up.

This set is sold! ^
Link to the sensors? do you have to program it?I got my new AW10 wheels installed yesterday, and they look great! I picked them up on Wednesday (I’m local), and everything was smooth and easy.
I got tires (Nokian Outpost nAT’s) and the sensors separately online, and the local tire shop got ‘em ready no problem. All you do for the new sensors is drive and they just pop up automatically like the old ones.
I’m really happy with how the Satin + Transparent black color turned out. They look quite dark in some lighting/angles, but give a good shine in others.
Some pics here, one of which has my old 21s for reference.
Not the guy you asked this of, but I purchased these sensors:
I got mine on Amazon before Atomic Wheels started offering them from them website. Probably just easiest to order from Atomic Wheels here if you order their wheels at the same time. The Amazon ones aren't shipping until February from the looks of it right now.
