22's in occasional snow

[protamine]

Anyone who has them give us a winter report. I wanted the 22 Sport for appearance, street performance and range. We don't get a ton of snow in Cincinnati (and most is plowed anyways) but just curious if performance was poor enough to merit a 20' winter combo. My 2014 Grand Cherokee on 20" Pirelli Scorpion Verde was more than adequate as a comparison.

You’ll be fine. Increase braking distance, increase hill approach speed. You should be fine.

Not tenable in my opinion. Stopping was a challenge…increased following distance and very careful throttle will help but if faced with an emergency situation, you’ll likely not end well. I’ll be looking for either 22” replacement ATs or purchasing Rivian’s 20” option.

With anticipated difficulty in getting replacement parts, I intend to keep it mainly parked when the weather’s bad until I can get one of the above options…

New R1T being delivered tomorrow with 22s. I’ll be happy to report back after snow season.

Don’t even think of it. When you eventually land with an accident due to this, range and appearance would be the last things on your and your passengers minds.

Pixel shot showed that hit was tenable and these are three season tires.

The weight of the Rivians is going to make stopping and turning in snow more difficult. I think that’s why some are having issues with stock tires on these vehicles when they don’t on others.

Pixel shot isn't paying my insurance premiums! Man's gotta know his (and his truck's) limitations!

We had two Volvo Recharge XC40’s last winter in Columbus with the same Scorpion Zero All Season tires as the Rivian 22” wheels have…..different load rating and diameter though. But we had no issues with that vehicle/tires at all. I would not take it out in heavy snow up a mountain but for southern Ohio winters, they should be absolutely fine.

I have the 22” wheels on my Rivian and I’m not too worried about it, but I also don’t drive in really bad conditions either.

If the tires are new, they are adequate, but my rears were half worn and would let the rear of the truck slide out in corners where the fresh new fronts felt okay still. I already had winter tires waiting since that was pretty much how I expected it to go. Of course we haven't had even a dusting of snow since getting them on.
