Service Information
Tire Rotation
Rotation of all four wheels and tires in a rearward cross pattern. To maintain consistent tread thickness across each axle, do not include the full-size spare in the rotation. This applies to vehicles with matching front and rear tire sizes; if sizes differ, do not rotate and instead replace tires in pairs on the same axle before tread wear indicators appear.
Track your total tire mileage and set custom reminders to rotate your tires in the Rivian app (Service > Vehicle maintenance).
Refer to the R1 Tire Service Guide for important tire information and warnings.
