Upgrading to BFGoodrich KO3 All-Terrain Tires on My 22” Rivian Wheels
If you know me, you know I love swapping tires on my Rivians. It’s like putting on a new pair of glasses—same truck, totally different feel. When I got the Tri-Motor R1T, I went with the 22” Range wheels because they just look so good. With the Aero covers on, they’re sleek and efficient.
