Off-roading with LT275/50R-22 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 E?

[Goldmaniam]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Honestly, I’m not sure why anyone would put 22’s on a truck like this. Any recommendations on wheels and where to get them?

I have some KO3s on 20s I will trade for the ones on 22s. I just use my KO3 for snow

The people who put 22's on a truck like this (me) is because they drive fast on paved roads.
Unfortunately, the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A is the incorrect tire for that type of spirited driving.
My R1T originally came with 20" wheels and once the original tires got to be too noisy, I bought the 22"s from the gear shop. I'll put winter tires on the 20" rims.

How many miles on the K03’s? Pics? I did just place an order for 20’s and K03’s, so if I can cancel a trade sounds ok depending on condition etc.

There are about 2k miles on them. I will get some pics shortly, but they are on the truck in the profile pic

I think you'll encounter body damage without armor before you find the limit of the truck. The 22s are fine for light trails but they are vulnerable to rash; better with those tires than the stockers though. I have the black 22s which are worse for that. I have a second vehicle for serious 4-wheeling and only about 100 miles of off-road on the rivian in 10k miles. At 1% I'll keep the 22s. They'll take me on all dirt roads and occasional obstacles.

Lots of people go for atomic wheels or you can find someone here who wants to swap their 20s.

Either wheel, the Rivian would be limited to easier trails like fins n things or hell's revenge in Moab. Elephant Hill as an upper limit. Tackling Golden Crack, Poison spider or Kane Creek will surely bring damage forgetting about wheels. Remember that Rivian broke a bunch of vehicles trying to cross the Rubicon. This ain't a Toyota or Jeep.

I’m not sure what you mean with Rivian broke a bunch of vehicles crossing the rubicon. What I’ve read said most Rivian owners crossed without issue. Of the damage that was encountered, it was mostly body.

I’m also not sure why you say the Rivian is limited to easier trails. I’ve seen them taken on up to category 6 with little issue. Can you provide citations for me to read up on?

Aug '23 is when rivian tried to take a few across. The R1Ts broke 2.5 miles in but a lone r1s made it. The trails I mentioned are above a 6... So we agree, not that I pay attention to numbers as a trail's difficulty varies season to season. For instance Kane Creek was passable by a stock Rubicon or locked fjc albeit with plenty of damage. This year it would be a drag fest with a winch.

Here's a pic on fins n things which isn't a tough trail. Rivian sent parts for free.
