Tire Change - Forgot to do AT / Highest

[NoGoingBack]

The Discount Tire in Avon Ohio has been great for me. They know how to work on Rivian’s and they get the job done in the time they say they will.

Discount Tire in Boulder knows what's up. They have pucks, and special jacks for the overweight Rivian.

Just so I know what I need to be tracking when getting tires moved around, I'd appreciate a double-check on how I got the set of RAM wheels installed:

1. Tire change mode on
2. Popped off the jack covers, popped the jack pucks in, lifted with a floor jack
3. Removed 21" wheel
4. Tapped on hub centric ring (needed for the RAM wheels to expand the smaller Rivian hub core for the larger RAM wheels) and tightened down 20" RAM wheel

Anything else I need to be tracking for a tire change?

You've got it correct, just one slight change. Put the vehicle in highest mode (off road or all purpose works), then do your 1-4.

I have the Dodge HellCat wheels on my wifes R1S, and for long road trips swap in the 21's. It would be advisable to use a higher temp light grease on the hub-centric rings, because getting them off after they have heat cycled a few times, can be a challenge to remove to put the 21's back on.

Cool, thanks for the confirmation. I'll make note for next time to ensure that the vehicle is in highest before doing the swap. Good note about the grease too. Might see about pulling the RAM wheels and throwing some grease under the rings - they were pretty tight for the initial install and I would be surprised if they seize quick.
