Has Rivian tested run flat tires, and if so what are the results?
I had run flats on my X-5 and although the ride was just a little rougher they freed up a lot of storage space.
I was going to put them on my Land Rover Discovery at 30k miles.

I will use my Rivian off of the pavement from time to time, so I want a ture where I can lower the air pressure for better traction.

The tire sizes are 275/65 R20 & 275/50 R22, so you can use that to inveatigate run flat options. I don't know much about run flat tires, but you'll want to ensure they will support a 6K lb vehicle plus occupants & cargo.

Here is a great refresher that explains the tire storage. The R1S is mentioned to have an inflatable spare. Great storage for the tire on the R1T.
