Tire wear condition at 15k miles, 10 months (photos)

[Herson]

I haven’t read the tread but the BEST tires should be on the rear. Rotating those spent front tires to the rear is a safety hazard.

I wish the service center advised me of this

I'm hoping to time my swap for when the wife's R1S with 21s comes in (still thinking about getting 20s for her for ease of future swaps/options). Either do a swap-a-roo with her wheels or book something for her vehicle, show up in mine, everyone gets/acts confused, and hopefully they just hit the buttons to make me happy and leave.

Also in my experience, Bellevue has been very independent/friendly/welcoming to customer ideas and might be willing to just do it off the books.

Do u think one day they may just be able and willing to calibrate according to each specific tire type....or is this one of those unattainable Rivian dreams

Don't t he OEM tires come with some sort of limited tread wear warranty?

Wearing out tires after 15K miles is unacceptable.

If you purchased them on your own, not as “original equipment” they would indeed have a treadwear warranty.

I wonder if it’s purely due to weight of the truck or if they use a softer compound of rubber like pro comp x-terrains?

So as OEM, no warranty at all?.

If I read it correctly, the regular warranty for defects, etc applies, but you have to use that within the first 2/32. So with these tires that would mean you picked up your Rivian and drove 1 block away from the service center and the warranty is done.

And the adventure continues.

How are people who are doing their own rotations lifting the truck in so many points as to rotate the traditional rear tires to the front and front tires to the rear in a cross pattern? How many jacks are you using? I feel like I'm missing something here. I have one floor jack and four jack stands but there's only a single lift point at each wheel of the truck so the jack stands are essentially useless.

If you have a spare that you are including in the rotation you only really need 1 wheel up at a time.

You could remove that panel for regular jacks to lift from no? Or is it still too small to put a Jack stand there and move the Jack?
