So yeah… my Rivian basically forced my hand and made me get new tires, and instead of doing the “responsible” thing and buying the expensive set everyone recommends, I went the opposite direction. In this video I buy the cheapest tires I could justify, throw them on, and actually test them like a normal person would: real driving, real conditions, and the stuff you notice immediately—ride feel, noise, traction, and whether they feel sketchy or surprisingly fine. I also talk through the mindset behind going cheap on something as important as tires, what I was expecting going in, and what actually happened once they were on the truck. The big takeaway is simple: cheap doesn’t automatically mean unusable, but you need to be honest about what you’re trading away (and what you’re not). And since I’m already in “test random stuff” mode, I also shout out a handful of budget car accessories I’ve been looking at—because if I’m going to save money on tires, I’m definitely going to see what else I can get for basically nothing.
