They're 35-inch on the prototype. Not sure on the width or wheel size.

I can't find any agreement on what size they are. They'll be what they are.

Considering the source, take their info with a grain of salt, but MotorTrend claims 35x12.50.

I'm fairly certain they are a special made 35 x 12.5 r18 Wrangler MTR with Kevlar on the prototype:

It's not a road tire. It specifically says on it 'Not for Highway Use'.

are they not fking huge?? anyone one have pics of comparable sized tired on conventional trucks for comparison?

The prototype(s) was/were rolling on custom Goodyears, no word as to whether those will actually go into production.

I also saw the “Not for Highway Use”. My guess, the tires were specially made for the CT and they did not have the time and/or resources to run them through the testing required to certify them for highway use. Just my guess, I could be wrong.

They're badass huge. My kind of tire.

I am sure that the production truck with have general use tires.

God I hope not. Let’s get some factory rubber on the production models to expand the options for the end user. I’d really like an option for “sport” radial wheels and tires like Rivian offers, if you’ve ever driven a truck with MT’s for 30k miles you’ll understand why.

God I hope not.

Oh yeah, there's a reason I run KO2s on my trucks.
