Looking for cables or snow socks for 21's

[RIVinIT]

Has anyone purchased Snow socks for the stock 21's or cables? Rivian does not recommend chains. If so where did you purchase them?

I’ve never tried snow socks, but they usually cover multiple tire sizes with medium - XL sizing. I have no idea if this brand is worthwhile (just did a quick search), but their XL size should work for 21s.

I didn't see 275/55R21 on the list. Would the XXL work?

That specific tire size is only used by Rivian, so it likely won't be on any lists for anything to do with common tire sizes. I think the XXL should be a safe bet since there are some sizes technically below and some sizes above the Rivian size. Maybe make sure it's easily returnable just in case.

I bought the AutoSock 870 for the 21s; their site says it should fit. Haven’t picked up the R1S yet so can’t verify fit.

Thank you for the reply, I did get an answer back and they said the XXL will fit.

We just spent the week in California R2 chain controls.
4WD with M+S tires okay, but must carry chains. (er.... "traction devices")

For 21" the manual explicitly recommends using snow cables 16mm or smaller.
These are what we brought with us. Didn't use them, but they fit perfectly:

I second these.

CONFUSED. The fit guide doesn't list the any 21" tires, much less the specific 275/55/21s. What am I missing?

Check the website of the company it does list the 21" size. These are what I ordered but I haven't tested them or even the tires yet.

Yes, thanks. I saw it listed at the Peerless.com site and it linked me to Amazon site too. But once at amazon, no joy. Hopefully Aroohoo or Smitherly can confirm; seems like they actually fitted them.

Question - You actually put these on the tires? Wanted to confirm before I order. Can you also send me the exact model/sku for it? much thanks.

Question - You actually put these on the tires?

Yes, of course. Your Rivian's wheel/tire looks exactly like the photos on the Amazon listing.

Can you also send me the exact model/sku for it? much thanks.

SZ462 is the right one.

You can verify on the companies website here

Got a pair of Snow Socks for 21" - have yet to try them out. Need to head to Tahoe!

So I tried the XL snow socks up in Tahoe during the last storm and they did not fit. You have to go with the XXL size. We did not need them the truck went through the foot of snow with ease. Now Ice will be another story...... Yikes! Thanks for the posting from all. Much appreciated.
