Does anyone with 22s not have steering wheel vibration at high speeds?

Do you have steering wheel shake?

I picked up my truck yesterday from service center was having service on steering wheel buttons not working. I also just did the latest software update. now the shake is totally obvious above 73-75 and at 80 it’s hard to hold. The truck has only 5k miles and I hadn’t really noticed it but it’s so bad
I’m more worried about the safety than anything else. Again I hadn’t noticed it at all before. Hoping it was just a glitch but I videoed it. Does this look like what others are seeing?

Exactly the same here. My vehicle is at the Service Center right now. In my situation I had the shake at delivery. Since the SC is about 1 hour away, I just took it to Discount Tire and had them rebalanced, but it did absolutely nothing. About 2-3 weeks later I installed Michelin X-Ice Snow tires and of course remount and balance and no change.

My SC complained that they couldn't diagnose with non-OEM tires....which they agreed that if they remount and balance and it doesn't go away they will cover the cost. If one more remount and balance fixes it I will happily pay $100 to have the issue gone. (that would indicate both Rivian factory and my local Discount Tire have problems balancing wheels....seems unlikely).

I am thinking I might have a bent rim from the factory. I wonder if that is an issue with the 22's?

I go back in for a third time for steering wheel and whole vehicle vibrations on December 14th. I have had the alignment checked twice at Rivian and balanced both at Rivian and discount tire still no fix.

I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, I no longer do.

I took my R1T into the service center sometime around March (took delivery in Jan) of this year, before they got as busy as they are now. I had originally asked about the shaking, and to check the steering linkage/suspension hardware for proper torquing, etc. They spent some time with the vehicle, and found that one of my 22" Pirellis had a flat spot from the factory. They replaced that single tire with a new one... shake has been gone all year. However, now my 22" are bald, just in time for winter tires. ;)
