Tire wear - how soon are people changing them?

[Greg Chick]

New 21’s at 17.6k for me.

Not bad for 21", the fronts go quicker. If rotated you get longer, but wear is wear, you either buy 4 tires less often or 2 tires more often. Of course, assuming alignment is good.

27k on the all terrains and I’ve never rotated them. They probably still have 5-10k left for rubber, but because they’re too loud for me I’m getting rid of them soon.

any idea which tires you are going with? I'm fine with the current noise but if there is a tire outhere that can improve noise, keep efficiency and AT performance similar I'm all ears.

I got 25K on my 21’s, at 3/32-4/32 all around when I replaced them.

Read an article about people needing to change tires fairly frequently on EVs.

What have all of you observed? I have the 21” road tires.

Here’s the article:

I got 29k out of my 22s. Metal belts showing on inside of all 4.

Replaced with with the ‘old’ style Michelin ltx ms2 At 36k now and first rotation is showing no noticeable wear. 10% reduction in range. I like them.

I buy a new set every 2 weeks.

My brain initially read the title of this thread as:

Underwear—how soon are people changing them?

My answer would be the same either way.

26K on 20" ATs. Never rotated...I know...I am an idiot...but the fronts are mostly smoked.

That said, I also, stupidly, rocked the conserve mode for much of that. I can probably get 30-32K if I rotate them now.

Just changed out original 21” set last week with 25.5k miles on them. Rotated roughly every 6-7k. They had about 4.5/32 tread on them. Could have squeezed a few thousand miles more but wanted better tread for winter driving.

23k on my 21s. Rotated at 10k & 20k still have about 50% of the original tread. Rivian service guy said he surprised they were the original tires. Though my disclaimer is 80% or greater are highways miles. Mostly frequent 300 mile round trips in conserve mode with cruse set at 75. I have a couple of close friends with R1Ts on 22s and neither made it to 15k before getting a new set.

What are you going to tell lace with? I am in the same boat of replacing them; but have only 7k and a long way to go

Data point for someone running 21s (quad motor):
I am in Conserve mode quite a bit, but also drive pretty conservatively. Current wear rates suggest I will need new tires probably around 20k or a little more.

22k on 20" AT. They're loud AF, but still have some life left. Never rotated, and only drive Conserve on hwy long distances. Will change them this summer for something else. Toyo tires look interesting.

I have 23k on my 21's. Discount Tire rotation every 5k. Down to 7/32-6/32. Last rotation at 20k the tech said I should get another 2 rotations. I will make the call at 25k to rotate or replace. It's a safety issue as I will be driving south on I-5 from WA to PHX in October. If I was in PHX I might squeeze the last 32nd. A couple of thousand miles is not worth the risk going through the mountains in the fall. I was hoping to last until I could get Michelins. I used to get 100k with Michelins on my Honda Ridgeline. But it weighed a lot less and had 1/3 the HP.

I keep having this issue. One at day two of ownership and another yesterday. Sheesh

Dang! You may be one of the mileage leaders on OEMs. And this is in Phoenix? There goes the idea that heat chews through them faster. Driving conservatively? How much Conserve mode? Are roads fairly smooth there? Need all the info, haha!
