Almost bald Pirelli 22‘s just not cutting it in the snow.

Shout out @GrandWaggy for the *slightly* used 22” Sport Brights!!

Had them powder coated Satin Black at Powder Coating Specialists in York, PA. Super cool shop!

Michelin X-Ice Winter XL tires mounted by local shop. Magnetic jack pucks by EV Sportline @EV Sportline (great customer service!!) made the mechanic very comfortable.

Are you rocking a Rivian yellow valve stem cover or is that just a yellow one? Looks cool!

Awesome! I have this exact setup ready to go once my truck gets here. I think it’s going to be a beast!

Looks great! Curious what you paid for powder coating and how's the efficiency compared to the stock tires?

Thanks! And sure no problem! $600 for all 4 wheels, includig reinstall TPMS, mounting and balancing. Took about 2 weeks.

Not enough sample size for efficiency yet. Weather has been swinging wildly. I also have been driving like a bat outta hell with thees grippy rubbers.

Will let you know after I do a longer trip.

That looks like a stack of cash. What did it cost you, breakdown if your will (ties vs wheels,etc.)

I paid $1,000 (about $250/tire) for the tires shipped to my door via Tire Rack. I think the price has increased since I bought them.

Ok that's something I never thought of and for $5 for 12 how could you not? You have enough for both sets of wheels, and some extras (or maybe you need a 3rd set of wheels now).

I think I like the plain yellow ones even more. I think I will grab a set for my black wheels.

Hey RivianDeac - Thanks for the great post. Curious about noise associated with these tires - I have the older Michelin Ice tires and they were very quiet compared to most winter tires. Also, I imagine they give the ride a bit more of a soft feeling..

No problem!

I haven't noticed much difference since the swap. Which probably means its not too bad.

However this is qualified by front end wind noise and I rarely have that Merididan system below a volume of 15.

Had my wheels powder coated in the northern Los Angeles area. A little more pricey at $800, but they came an picked them up, then delivered them. Had them back in 24 hours and the look great.
