Creating the Ultimate Wheel/Tire Combo (Help Needed)

[CarlM408]

Loving the look/color and now debating on if i want 20" or 22" LOL. 22" looks on these wheels would be amazing but Im tired of the harsh ride.

So one of the things I did not expect, was these AWZZ's impact on ride quality. I can totally feel the change in unsprung mass (suspension is noticeably more compliant over broken pavement) as well as rotational mass (steering feel is much lighter).

No idea how that will scale from 20s to 22s and vs. the OEM 20s vs. 22s, but all things being equal more lighter should help the harsh ride regardless of wheel size.

Recent driving has made me realize I want to prioritize grip

Looks like I have my setup en route! Will post results!!

Here is my Combo

Stock 22" set weighs 83lbs vs my 65lbs. about 18lbs per corner savings, a better tread/compound tire w/ more tread depth, better traction then OEM 22's and cheaper.

The only difference is the 2.5% odometer difference which ill happily pay with all these benefits of grip, efficiency and longevity.

Big aesthetic difference as a result of the 32“ diameter tires vs 33” (or optional 34”) — was this a consideration? Please post pics when available. Good luck.

Not really. Didn't even think about that but not sure if it would make that much of a difference personally I think anything that's not a AT tire looks small so I don't really care.

Definitely work well in the snow.

Funny problem with these new rims...now I need to give my calipers a good scrubbing too

Your video pushed me over the edge! Ordered yesterday, can't wait to see the antique bronze on Rivian Blue!

Your new tire set up causes an artificially elevated efficiency because your truck thinks it's moving 3.5% further per mile. That's almost 0.1w/mi. So not accounting for all your efficiency jump, but definitely a portion

Tesla Fi calculates it based on raw data (how much used vs how much traveled) so this should be accurate.

Does the distance traveled come from the odometer?

Cool! That solves that
