I'm going to preface this by saying "I'm a special kind of dumb"

I have no spare. Has it stopped me from doing things? Heck no! But I did do a road trip from downtown Vancouver, BC up past Whistler to Lillooet Lake (Lil-OO-et) to a forest service road that runs the length of the lake as well as Harrison Lake to the south. The FSR is roughly 200km of dirt roads with some loose shale, blasted rock, etc. Normally, no big deal, and a fun time! However, I didn't have a spare, and I took my wife and 2 month old daughter with me.

Now, we had plenty of food etc with us for the day trip as well as extras and a tent, should it require us to stop overnight. While we were a convoy of one, there were several vehicles and First Nations communities passed along the way, including several Dodge Rams (potential Rivian spare tire source vehicle) but, looking back on it, I was stupid for doing a trip like that with our young daughter and no spare tire.

Dear Rivian, please let my purchase the spare I configured several years ago so I don't continue down the path of "that guy"

Didn't take a photo of the truck driving, so I edited one with my extensive Photoshop (paint) skills.

No, it isn’t. Try buying a wheel and let us know how that works out for you.

Sorry, my bad - I replied the wrong message - I was talking about Amazon link for stock 21” tires.
