But again, that's true of every front-wheel drive vehicle, and there are many other high-performance front-wheel drive vehicles on the road that don't see excessive wear. These arguments aren't specific to the Rivian. And while the Rivian is heavier than most, the tires are rated for the extra weight. The fact that Rivian is replacing your tires means that your situation is not "expected" - if this was normal expected wear and tear then you would be paying for those new tires on your own.The reasoning is you are asking a lot out of the tires, especially when they get unweighted under acceleration and cornering. Any time they skip or skid, that's a lot of extra wear.
