Hey Julie, thanks for the information and the picture! I checked with Rivian and we've only got one set of tire chains that are going to be compatible with your 2023 RS1 and your 275/50R22 tires. They are the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains item # KON24FR.

To avoid damaging brake lines and suspension pieces on the inside of your Rivian's wheel wells you'll need to use the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains item # KON24FR. The reason you can get away with using these is because they have a unique design where they mount on your tires using one of the lug nuts for the wheel. This mounting method eliminates the need for a chain on the back side of the tires.

The Konig K-Summit Tire Chains item # KON24FR are sold as a pair. I have linked an installation video below that will show you how to get them set up. I highly recommend practicing installing these before you actually need to use them.

Thanks, Jerred. Your site says it’s not compatible with the 2023 RS1 Rivian so I’m very thankful you double checked with Rivian. Regards, Julie

@JerredH Should I get chains for all 4 tires? Or will 2 be enough?

@Julie You'll want to check your owner's manual to confirm but I am pretty sure you'll only need the one set. They'll go on your drive axle.
