  2. Crusty, wet/dry, deep(ish) snow -- off-road vs. soft-sand mode?

    Just returned from a short (22 mi round-trip, ~5 mi one way in significant snow) trip up a gravel Forest Service road, slight elevation gain (~500'). Road had an accumulation of about a foot of snow, condensed over the past month or so. One set of old-ish ruts, a number of snowmobile tracks...
  3. 20" Inch Best 20" Tire for Max Efficiency (R1S): On-Road with Occasional Snow Driving

    I know these questions have been asked before and there are some great compilation threads like this: ksurfier: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/affordable-high-efficiency-20-wheels-and-33-tires-options-275-60r20.24561/ but I am having a hard time distilling the wealth of info down...
  4. EV torque + snow: friend or foe?

    Instant torque is amazing off-road, but on icy roads it can be… a learning curve. How has your R1 behaved in snow so far? Anything you’ve adjusted in your driving or settings? — Team Electruck
  5. Looking to travel from Central Valley California up thru Canada

    Hoping to make a trip from Sacramento to Vancouver. Currently only have 21” tires so no snow tires. Looking for recommendations as I think I might need to carry snow tires/wheels in the bed .
  6. Drifting Into the Weekend Aftermath

    After a super busy work week and long Friday working while watching the snow fall from window, I was looking forward to some snow adventure. Found a vacant lot and with Soft Sand mode it was like a Winter wonderland cruise. After a few warms ups and getting the feel for it, almost pulled off...
  7. How do winter tires work for "hybrid" environments (SoCal resident here)

    This isn't really Rivian specific, but it is at least in the sense of "questions that pertain to adventure vehicle's that aren't supposed to have chains" (let's ignore the snow sock solution). Anyway, what is someone in Southern California supposed to do if they are driving to Colorado for a few...
  8. Camping and sleeping in the R1S - a success story

    Hi all, Picked up my R1S in early March and took it up the Sierra for a ski trip at my local resort. This time around I decided to test out sleeping in the cold and snow. Some details first: * 2024 R1S Dual Motor Large Pack 21" * Start range/%: 340 miles/95% * End range back at home: ~30 miles...
  9. Ok Denver/Utah-- who made it through last winter with the 21" All Season's? How did they do in the snow?

    I do a ton of driving back and forth to the Mtn's for skiing. Denver to Vail/WP/Breck. I usually put on dedicated snow tires every winter, but unfortunately missed the fact that their are NO other tires for the 21" rims. (was trying to keep my build below the $80k tax credit limits). I'm a...
  10. Rally Mode Activated - put the kids in back of R1S to make some memories

    I've been waiting for the snow. The kids absolutely loved it but now I can't get them to stop asking me to do it again. Rally Mode, Stability Off.
  11. Anyone running Hakka R5 SUVs?

    I know there have been a million snow tire posts and I've read them all. It seems most Nokian folks go with the LT3s. I'm curious about the R5s and if they can handle the extra wear of a Rivian. I get my R1T in the next week or so with 21" wheels. Gonna do a 2nd set of 20" snow tires (using...
  12. Frozen doors, gear tunnel, hood -- experienced during icy snow trip

    I just got back from my first snow trip. One thing I struggled with was the gear tunnel, doors, and hood all froze closed at various points. Has anyone else had trouble with this? The gear tunnel doors froze and there are obviously no handles. I ended up using a plastic de-icer to chip away ice...
