Had 21k on the pirellis and these Goodyears are smoother and very quiet at all speeds. Biggest surprise is how much lighter the steering wheel feels. Oh did I mention how wonderful it’s finally quiet driving now ?.

Sorry. I typed it in a hurry.
I have 22s on my R1S. Will these fit it?

I bought the Michelin 275/50R22 Defender LTX 2s but Costco won’t put them on because it says 116 and they’re 115 :(.

Wondering if the 22 option would work for the R1S. I’m finding it hard to even understand if they will or not.


You realize the last two digits of this string—275/50R22—denotes wheel size? These Goodyear tires are R20. If you want to run these tires you need to also change your wheels, from 22” to 20”.

A tire made to fit on a 20” wheel will not mount onto a 22” wheel and vice versa.

Reminds me of when I was learning the difference in 650b, 700c, and 26" bike wheels. A few pinch flats and googles later, I got rid of the 650b to simplify my tire/tube inventory.

First chance to try my R1T and Goodyears in the snow. Very impressed with how the truck and tires handled the deep snow!

Biased review.

And you rolled that stop. I'm telling
Ha! No one was on the roads to see me slow down to an almost stop.

So back to the Goodyear Territory in 20", any updated owner reports? How is the tire noise at higher speeds? Anyone go to them from 21" and can compare noise levels with the 21's before they got noisy?

My truck is in for service and whenever it finally comes home (been a week so far), I want to either slap on the GoodYears or go with the Michelins. I am not as concerned if these are slight less efficient than the LTX M/S2's or not, I am more concerned about the noise. My wife likes quiet cars.
Just swapped 21s for 20 inch Atomic rims and Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT 116, 275 60 r20. Slightly more tire noise, but with the radio on, I do not notice. They look great too. Speedometer is the same as my 21s, always reads 2mph faster than GPS mph.

Thanks! Any pics? What Atomic Wheels did you go with? I bought the AW01's but just waiting to decide on what tires after I get it back from Rivian.

Went with aw10. Bought new lugs from Gorilla automotive. The tires took about 2 weeks to arrive at the shop, they are in limited supply.

Thanks, I had originally bought a set of those and then changed. I was leaning toward the MIchelins and the rim width on those at 9" was going to be wider than the tire contact patch so I got the AW01s instead. I loved how the AW10's look with the polished and satin 2-tone finish. I the satin and gloss black look good too.
