Discount Tire Current Promotions for Rivian Tires.

Discount tire is trained to work on Rivians and typically most stores have pucks to help lift your vehicle.

Military or Discount Tire credit card members can save 5% on their purchase. You can read the additional terms how to verify military membership or financing / minimum amounts for credit card on their website.

5% Military Discount for Discount Tire - Thank you very much for your service.

In addition you can purchase Road Hazard warranty for your stock Rivian tires since OEM tires do not come with Road Hazard warranty and also get lifetime road force balancing / rotations plus local install options available. This gave me a peace of mind when traveling on road-trips especially when I didn't have my compact / full-size spare.

Thread on PSA: Discount Tire / America’s Tire will sell Road Hazard warranty and lifetime Road Force Balancing with free rotation if you have < 2,000 miles

I love Hunter Road Force balancer pretty much available at most discount tires and most bays have now been converted. I remember the days when only 1 or 2 machines were road force balancer. Rivian uses a similar road force balancer to try to get the tires down into the teens for the least amount of steering wheel vibrations / body / seat vibrations. Also make sure if you have done the heavier steering wheel replacement to help cut down on steering wheel shake.

Benefits of Road Force Balancing - Similar balancer Rivian uses.

Make sure to use Road Force Balancing where you go and that should make a good difference in your driving experience.

Usually the best time I have seen to buy tires is around major holidays like our Federal Holidays. The next one coming up is Memorial Day and we should see some good sales / promotions which should stack.

Keep in mind install / lifetime balancing is around $25 per tire/wheel.

I would check the reviews on the forum for options other than stock tires especially if you're looking to get better range, better grip or off-road performance

The tires I personally like are Michelin, Pirelli, BFGoodRich, Continental, Nitto, Toyo and GoodYear.

You can also schedule an appointment to make it easier to take care of installing your tires or doing tire rotations / balancing using the below link to make appointments.

PSA: You can get Tire protection for your stock tires at Discount Tire as well. I did this for my 20" All Terrains when R1S compact spare was out of stock initially in 2023.

I just recently purchase the newly released (April 2025) Pirelli XTM AT Electric Vehicle All Terrain Tire. You can see my reviews using the below links.

Now if they could do alignments, $260 at Rivian seems steep.

I've had good luck with Discount Tire for all my cars. They balanced my Atomic Wheels AW01/Goodyear Territory AT combo very well. It has been smooth as butta all the way to the speed limiter from the start, and now going on 4k miles on them.

The tire certs are definitely worth it in my book. The crappy roads took out a brand new tire on one of my Teslas and that alone paid for the certs for the entire car and almost another car.

I actually heard some stores can do alignments but I can’t confirm if they can do it for Rivian.

I’ll try to swing by the store on my area that can do alignments and ask if they can do an alignment on a Rivian.

Try calling Rivian support and explain to them you have new tires and need an appointment for just alignment.

They were able to squeeze me in just recently within a couple weeks for an alignment and I just delayed my tire install to the day before my Rivian appointment.

I take the approach with Rivian that I do with my wife; while I think she'll say no, I can't get a yes if I don't ask. I end up getting lucky more often than I thought I would.

My local discount can do alignments, but was not comfortable doing the rivian due to the lane keep assist sensors

I will definitely try this. Thanks

$260 is not steep if they do it right, lift the cars right and not damage cars. Cheap or done right. Choose wisely.

Better criticism would be SC appointment availability, which can only be solved through time and continued service expansion.

I’ve had 2 free rotations done at my local DT on my original tires.
They are giving me free rotations based on my past business with other cars.
I will probably use them when it comes t replacements if I can time a discount campaign right.

My local Rivian does/will not rotate according to Rivian’s recommended pattern.

Some stores are starting to do them. Other independent shops may be able to as well but you'll need to confirm. Had my wife's done for $115. Had to go check on it though after a while though and show the guy how to take it out of kneel mode since it kept screwing with things, so make sure to deactivate it first if it's a non Rivian shop.

It's true. Rivian confirmed with me that some discount tires do it. I'm in the Atlanta area and the south side stores don't, but a few on the north side do.

Are you talking about cross-rotation? My local discount tire had no issues doing the cross rotation recommended for quad motors. I would call a different location if you have one available or talk to the manager and show them the owners guide / manual.

If Rivian does not want to cross-rotate, I would bring this concern up to Rivian support and show them the manual where it recommends cross-rotation.

That's great news. Just to confirm the alignment was $115 for Rivian and that includes making sure the highway assist / cameras are all set for Driver assist?

I will have to call my local center to see if they cover Rivians and what the cost will be. Hopefully we see more and more locations roll out alignment options at your local store.
