Do you have issues with getting a spare from Rivian directly? Or are you located nearby? If you're from Portland, I'd doubt the shipping cost would be worth, but ?‍
They've just been resistant to my efforts of buying a spare, so trying to arrange a local-ish group buy instead. If all else fails, I'm buying a full set myself.

Good call on the shipping. No, I thought it might be cheaper but having thought about it, its probably about the same.Do you have issues with getting a spare from Rivian directly? Or are you located nearby? If you're from Portland, I'd doubt the shipping cost would be worth, but ?‍

If you want a matching spare, there are no options other than Rivian. If you want a spare that works fine, and is pretty well size matched, the wheels from Hummers and some Dodges will fit fine. I have a Hummer wheel that came with my truck (truck was bought used). I am going to buy a stock wheel if one becomes available, but I'll never use the stock tires again so I just want the wheel (AT dark).

Yea. I just got my R1S so I don't mind having the OEM tire for my spare currently as I plan to use that for now and then as my pseudo-winter tire. After that I do want a set of 20" with aftermarket tires for the summer. I don't plan on using OEM tires too once these are used up.

FYI, the general agreement is that those AT Pirellis are horribly loud by 15k and often really loud by 10k. I got my truck with 14k and they were HORRIBLE. They had over 50% tread but I got rid of them. Now I can hear the fact that there's wind noise... But still, what an ultra quiet truck (Nitto Recon in the 116 load range).

Yea I've read that around here. I'll be waiting to see haha. Since I'll have two sets, that might not be for a long while tbh. The vehicle is already way louder than my Ioniq5 with just the HVAC system alone. My ioniq 5 is tighter, and quieter in all aspects. But it doesn't bother me too much, yet. Of course I'd like a super quiet cabin, like many would, but it wasn't high on my priority of choosing this over an EV9 when I was shopping for a three row EV SUV.
Definitely looking forward to experiencing the vehicle with non-OEM tires though!

I'm having my compressor looked at. On this last road trip, it suddenly became quieter, and then along with the tire change, suddenly I heard little wind noises. So I got some of the recommended silicone/EPDM weatherstrip fillers. It's getting very quiet, certainly beating a brand new X5 I was just in last week. And way quieter than our Tesla, which was quieter than our sport BMW.
