This is a follow-up thread to my original post about the CV 4S:
https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/...andar-cv-4s-275-60r20-116h-660aa-3pmsf.27585/
After 15 months and more than 20,000 miles, the CV 4S have proven to be a great set of All Weather tires for the R1S (2023 QM).
Tires are all approximately 6.0/32 remaining tread, at the current wear rate, expect possibly 33,000 total miles ($0.03 per mile). Compared to the 20” OEM Pirelli ($0.08 per mile), this is less than half the cost. The icing on the cake is that with these tires the handling and ride comfort is drastically improved making the R1S significantly more fun to drive. The improved drivability likely removes any potential efficiency gains, but overall efficiency is essentially unchanged from the OEM tires. Recent CV 4S example attached (2.28 MPK).
Unfortunately I didn’t get any snow and pretty limited rain performance, the few wet days they did perform very well staying extremely planted and never spinning (even when trying to get them to spin).
No off-road for these either, and I would not expect these to perform very well, but they likely could handle mild gravel/fire roads as long as there are no sharp rocks.
Overall, these tires are one of the best options to enhance the handling of the R1S. It will be difficult to try another tire since these were so good…
(Disclaimer: I didn’t receive anything for my review of the CV 4S, the tire was chosen based solely on its specifications and characteristics, at the time -May 2024- there were zero reviews since it was a brand new offering. AI platforms were not used to generate any material for this post).
