Still just running the Riv Pirelli 20’s and only had a few snow outings in 3-5” cold snow down in Denver. They did reasonably well in the Denver flats below 35mph in AP mode with regen set to “standard” and stability set to “reduced”. Note standard regen still brings the 7k lb Rivian to a complete stop. Did not try sand mode yet in snow but will do so.
I posted this in another thread, but Rivian describe the 22s as three season tires. In their description of them the mention Spring, Summer, and Autumn, not winter or snowy/icy conditions.
On the Pirelli page for the Rivian tires it does expand on the descriptions a little bit, but not much. They do say it's a "year round" tire for the 22s.I posted this in another thread, but Rivian describe the 22s as three season tires.

After driving my 22's on light snow last week, It's definitely adequate, but you have to be very cautious with them. Something I don't want to have to do, because I live in a world where snow tires exist.
You are right, never saw that before. Even mentions they provide traction in light snow, probably very light snow (flurries).
I don't blame you. Maybe we all just need to learn a new way of driving on ice/ snow but until then I'd play it safe.
Yeah, that is a carefully worded description. I sure wouldn't want to drive in the CO mountains in winter with those, even if I was just staying on I-70.
Seems like any other performance-biased all season tire. Technically yes will work in winter...but not optimal. Hell, Corvettes come with "all season" tires.
Sure - that is how a tech writer at Rivian wrote up that webpage. But, Pirelli call it an "All Season" tire and has that molded into the sidewall of each one. For more than half the country that includes snow...I posted this in another thread, but Rivian describe the 22s as three season tires.

Not my Z51 - I can't even drive it if temps drop below 40 degrees!
