Hi All,
Well 27K miles later and my front tires need to be replaced. I have the 22" sport wheels.
Where are people getting their new tires installed? Is it America's Tire?
I'm in Menlo Park, CA (SFBay).

Also curious what tires folks got for their second set. I was looking at the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 as they are lightweight and have a long warranty.

Thanks for the help!

Just goto Costco Tire Center. I plan to replace my 22" tires when time comes at Costco, where all of other vehicles' tires (Michelins) have been purchased.

How often did you rotate?

Edit: Americas Tire is another good option. They have Rivian pucks I've read, plus good tire prices usually

Five Points Tire in Redwood City has been my go-to tire and alignment place for 30 years. They are locals, one guy coached my son's Little League, etc. However, I have not had to worry about tires and alignment yet on my R1T. I would call Five Points and find out how familiar they are with Rivians and jack pucks.

I rotated every 6 months or so. I think the front wore down faster since on the highway I used conserve mode when driving to Tahoe and back.

Costco. I'd wait for when they have the rebate for Michelin tires (its alternating every month between Michelin and Bridgestone) and buy online and make an appointment for install.
