Good morning

I know there are a lot of threads on this, but figured I would just post my specifics. My 21"s are close to needing replacement, and since my new job is significantly closer, I thought I would try a set of 20's.

1). I like a rugged look, but it doesn't have to be a totally agressive look. Just a hint of agressive is fine.

2). I would like to not sacrifice too much range, but a little is ok.

3). If possible, I would like to not add too much noise, as I feel my R1T is already a bit on the noisy side.

4). For the rubber, something with a bit longer life than my stock 21's would be nice.

5). For rims, I love the look of the BR voltaics, but the price is hard to stomach. So like a lot of others here, I think the M52's in all black look pretty sporty. But am VERY OPEN to suggestions.

6). Price is not everything, but would like to keep it manageable.

I know I ask the impossible, but any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated. I will likely replace all 5 including the spare.

Best

The new Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT designed for Rivian Gen 2 sound like a good fit for you!

@B Digs I just had these tires installed yesterday on a set of AW10's. Really dig the look. Road noise is not very noticeable compared to the 21's.

Can you tell me what PSI you are running yours at? My installer left them very low (~39psi) so I inflated them up to 50PSI this morning. Definitely firmed things up a bit but curious to hear what you suggest.

Thank you.

Glad to hear you like the new Goodyears! I run mine at the suggested 48psi (cold inflation).

2.43 mi/kWh so far (-3% for 34” to 33” OD is 2.36).

I finally averaged 2.5 MPK on my AS+3s today! If I could get 2.36 on my commute with those Goodyear Rivian 3PMSF tires, I'd happily run them year-round.

Damn it, consumerism! You've got me again...
