20" Inch Goodyear Territory AT 275/60/20 Factory AT tires + saving $

[Riviot]

So Rivian SC in San Antonio installed mine and they are at 56 psi. Isn’t max 51?

Are they 56psi are driving for a while on a hot Texas day?

I've seen mine hit 56 on the display in warm afternoons after driving on hot roads. That's normal. The max 51psi is cold filling. Manually check them with a gauge first thing in the morning, $5 says they're 48psi.

ETA:
Rivian TPMS is usually 1-2PSI over my manual gauges, which both normally match so I know it's Rivian computer/TPMS that's off.

Recommended pressure is 48psi cold inflation, 51psi max cold inflation. As @Riviot mentioned, the inflation will go up after driving, especially on a hot day.

They were still 56 or 57 all around this morning. Maybe Rivian tech misread 51 for 57.

I would definitely let out some air, when cold, and lower to 48.

To confirm: do you mean the Rivian screen said 56/57 all around when you got in? Or do you mean you physically checked with a gauge?

I checked with a tire gauge as I knew the truck would need to be driven for the monitor to be updated and accurate. When I got to work the screen had updated to 53/54 as I had let out a little air from each.

It's unfortunate the SC over inflated. I'd recommend continuing to air them down until the cold inflation is 48psi.

Also beware the time of the day you're taking these measurements and if a specific tire is in the direct sun...all of which can change the density of the same air inside the tire.

Also note that we are coming into Fall so the ambient air will be cooler...meaning your tires may need a little bump of air to keep them at 48 through the colder months.

I just thought I'd provide an update on my GY's. I've been stuck in loaner Rivians since the SC damaged my truck while fixing it. Then the body shop the neeed to fix it broke my pano roof so I was without my truck for several months.

In that time, I had loaners with the 22" and 21" wheel options. These were on a Gen 1 quads. After driving these other tire combinations, I can tell you I would absolutely take the 20" Goodyears over either of those tires.

The 21's basically had no redeeming qualities to me. The 22's at least felt more nimble when pushing the truck but their road compliance sucked. You felt every pothole. The 21's were bad in that respect but they didn't grip as well as the 22's. They didn't feel very nimble with quick directional changes. They were slightly quieter than my GY's at load speed and the efficiency might have been a touch better but could be a truck variance things. I'd say maybe 5% but I have a topper on mine so not sure if that is truly helping or hurting and I dont' really care.

The 20" Goodyears make the truck feel very "plush" when driving. I can use sport mode lowest in 90% of my driving. On the other 2 trucks I got the heck beat out of me. On the R1S with the 22's, it was absolutely miserable on my roads.

I was also more aware of the low speed noise. It has always been there. I noted it from the outset On the flip side, maybe Rivian did a better job with taking care of the wind noise during my visit. These tires are also less noisy at speed on a lot of the different freeways I drive. So on a scale of 1-10, I'd previously say my tire noise at 20 mph was about a 1.5/10. I'd rate it at about 1.75/10. This is all subjective. I didn't measure any cobin noise like I did at higher speeds.

In general, coming back to my truck it felt like putting on a pair of shoes that were nicely broken in, and very comfy. They just seem to really suit the truck, almost like they were designed for it.

At this point, the only other tires I'd consider for it are something like the Pilot Sports, where I wanted max grip like what can be ordered on the Gen 2 quad, or maybe something for absolute hyper miling. Then again, a truck isn't ideal for hyper miling anyway. These did pretty well in snow but if you are a lot of ice in the winter, I'd consider a dedicated ice tire as well. For an all around tire, these are hard to beat. I think that's what it comes down to.

There are better, more single-purpose tires out there, such as for ice, track, severe off-road, hyper-miling, etc. For a daily driver tire that does pretty much everything well, and looks great doing it, these are a great combination.

Dang, sorry to hear about all the trouble you’ve had — that sounds like a frustrating stretch. Glad to hear you’ve finally got your comfy shoes back! Really appreciate the detailed feedback on the different wheel setups. It’s super helpful to hear real-world impressions like this, especially when it comes to ride quality and noise. Thanks again for sharing!

Just rotating my Goodyears at 7500 miles they are telling me front tires 7/32” and rear 8/32”. Driving mostly all purpose around town and conserve mode while long distance. @B Digs is this what you would expect for the tire wear/ mileage. Still ride great and handle great. Some gravel road use but not a ton. Just wondering what everyone is seeing from a durability standpoint.

It's been a long time since I came back to report. I've had these tires now for one winter and one summer, about 7500 miles in. Just had a mobile service for 7500 maintenance. The technician reported front tires are at 8/32 while the rear are 7/32 and 6/32. I mostly drive local/highway mixed on all purpose mode. In the last 7500 miles I've had maybe 3-4 "long" drives. 3 of them about 300 miles round trip and another about 800 miles round trip.

5k on these tires now and averaging 2.77 mi/kwh.

We can all get that if we drive slow!

What's your motor variation, average speed, and if quad, do you run conserve regularly?

Most interested in how tires perform in the snow. We live in the mountains so snow is a regular occurrence for some months.

Winter performance was definitely factored in to the design. While not a dedicated winter tire, it is 3PMSF rated and I’ve found it to perform very well in the snow.
