Not enough clearance for chains on the OEM AT tireswow, I've never seen those before. I can't imagine those would hold up well under the weight and torque of the R1T but someone in the comments claimed they used them on a Model X which is probably the closest comparison at the moment.
Tire chains are a pain to put on, but I'm at least used to using them. I'd probably stick with traditional chains over these.

Ah right, I remember a discussion about that in a previous post on the AT tires, but I still don't quite understand why.Rivian specifically says not to use chains.
@crashmtb mentioned it earlier: clearance.Ah right, I remember a discussion about that in a previous post on the AT tires, but I still don't quite understand why.
The chains might snag dangling bits like the brake line. It may not be as much of a problem in higher suspension modes. I bought some low profile chains but I will only use them on the rear tires, mostly since the exit to my driveway is a steep downhill drop. It'll also be good to have the chains in case I take a trip through the passes on a dry day, since patrols can still cite you for not having chains (or socks) ready to install if needed.Ah right, I remember a discussion about that in a previous post on the AT tires, but I still don't quite understand why.
yeah I was thinking I'd only ever use them in a real emergency and I'd put the truck in a higher suspension setting, but I'm sure this will be done by many others before me so I'll look forward to hearing how it works for you.The chains might snag dangling bits like the brake line.

I think a lot is going to depend on which chains you choose to try. I know Rivian says no but if people are successfully using a 35ā tire there should be enough room for a low profile chain of some kind.yeah I was thinking I'd only ever use them in a real emergency and I'd put the truck in a higher suspension setting, but I'm sure this will be done by many others before me so I'll look forward to hearing how it works for you.
Owners manual says rear, only on the 22s but doesnāt specify for the other sizes.Dumb question: Front? Rear? Both?
