Not the greatest reviews on Tirerack for the 22" Pirelli P Zero. Don't know if changes in the EV version would address some of the concerns.

Damn, that looks good. That was the exact configuration of my First Mile Drive R1T and I damn near ran to change my configuration right after the drive was over.Iām surprised itās not here already but hereās a photo of my dark 22ā wheels. The look in person absolutely ended the conversation for me. They just look SOO much better imo than the other options and it wasnāt even close..
My original thought was the range reduction would bother me a lot over time. Each day might not be a big deal but a lot of my commutes are near the 200-250 miles in a day range and the risk of having to stop at some point during my trip to charge just because of a wheel/tire choice annoyed me. Again though, the decision maker for me was the looks. I liked them so much especially letting the caliper peek out that Iāll happily hunt down a set of off-road tires/wheels if I feel the need to go somewhere my 22s wonāt let me lol.
I read the same reviews. The EV version is going to be different because it needs to be XL load and i believe they are making them specifically for the R1T so I am keeping an open mind that they will be much better than the existing 22'sNot the greatest reviews on Tirerack for the 22" Pirelli P Zero.

Inclusive thinking has me appreciating that everyone has their personal preference. 22's do nothing for me on the Rivian. On a sports car they look awesome. But my preference is the 20's. Actually would really like 17's, but that ain't happening.
I live in CA and have absolutely no need for an off-road or snow tire. I went with the 20 A/T Darks because I think the Rivian looks so much better with them. The other tires look out of proportion on the Rivian to me and trucks look better with beefier tires. I also like the feeling of knowing I have the most capable off-road/bad weather tire in case I ever need it (although realistically I won't). The 20s just look the best -- especially on the Dark rim.Inclusive thinking has me appreciating that everyone has their personal preference. 22's do nothing for me on the Rivian.

Same here! I have done plenty of trips to Tahoe with Subaru on AS tires and no chains during snow. And a couple of times in the blizzard. But the weight of R1s is a diff game altogether. I am on 22s with planned winter visits to Tahoe.I have been going to Tahoe off and on for about 40 years, and I can't speak for others, but I have never had an issue with AS tired on a 4wd vehicle getting stopped and needing chains at chain control. I have seen on many occasions the entire roadway closed down when it got too hairy - but everyone turned back, chains, 4wd, all of the above.
That said in the snow I would prefer to be on the 20's for sure, but I went up a dozen times this season and drove when it was snowing once. That has been my history over the years, 1-2 snow drives out of 8-10 dry.
Where it might make a huge different is on hill in areas with little or sub-par plowing. Then I would want 3 peak or snow tires...
Summer tires do better in the rain because they do a better job of pushing water out of the way and preventing hydroplaning. This is typically the opposite tread pattern needed for snow traction so equating rain to winter weather for snow is not accurate.I can't speak to the snow, but the 22's have done very well in the rain. BTW: I grew up in Chicago and maybe things are worse now (we used to say that there were two seasons, winter and road repair) but somehow we all survived with all season tires. If you're dealing with sheets of black ice, just stay off the road...if you aren't slipping into someone, someone is slipping into you...
