  1. 116/119 275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    @jlgoolsbee I am running them at about 65PSI and have noticed maybe a 5% loss of range. I am averaging just over 2 mi/kWH and with the Pirelli's I was getting just over 2.1 mi/kWh. The ride quality improvement was noticeable the moment I drove out of the DiscountTire parking lot. I am...
  2. Tire Swap to 22" Michelin Defender LT275/50r22

    I just put these on my truck Friday evening. Discount Tire inflated to 48/49. I think I need to bump that up to 60
  3. R1S 22" Tire Replacement Time - Decision Paralysis - Advice/Experience

    I just went with option 3 on my 2026 R1T dual/max. I live at altitude with sharp curves in steep roads and wanted the extra sidewall stiffness for the weight of the vehicle. Honestly, immediate difference in the vehicle. I didn't even realize how bad the Pirelli's actually were. Even if you...
  4. 116/119 275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    Update: I went with the 119 version on Friday evening. I only have about 60-70 miles on them and they drive substantially better than the Pirelli's! Quieter, smoother, more comfortable and the vehicle just drives better all around. Don't have much yet on efficiency numbers, too small of a...
  5. 22" Inch 22" Michelin DEFENDER LTX M/S2 LT275 /50 R22 119S E1 BSW tires installed photos & review impressions

    How has this worked out for you? I am debating doing the same with my max battery, dual motor. I think the extra side wall will help.
  6. 116/119 275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    I was specifically asking about the 116/119 version of the Michelins.
  7. 116/119 275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    I was specifically asking about the 116/119 version of these tires.
  8. 116/119 275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    I was specifically asking about the 119 version of the Michelins which is different than the Nokian One HT.
  9. 116/119 275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    Thanks. I am specifically looking for some feedback on the 116/119 version which seems to be fewer and further between. I think most have been putting the 115's on, judging from the forums. I am guessing with the max battery I have and location of driving, I think the 10ply makes the most...

    Amazing! Thanks for the quick replies and the feedback.

    Copy that! How is the ride? Are they wearing well?
  12. 116/119 275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

    I have pretty much had it with the stock Pirelli's that came on my 22"s for my Gen 2, Rivian R1T Dual Motor, Max Battery. I have nearly 8k on them and they are downright dangerous the minute we get any rain or precipitation. I have been going back and forth on going with the Michelin Defender...
  13. Rivian Halloween Mode SPOOKY SWAMP (2025) is Alive! 🎃

    My iOS app just updated. I had to go into the App Store and force it, but it is there. Nothing on the truck yet though. Sounds like that could take some time for it to make it to everyone.
  14. R1T Dead Last in EV Pickup Sales

    I think everyone is forgetting that the R1's are "brand building vehicles." They are expensive, configured with nicer and more options than most of the other vehicles and it is a much younger company than any of its competitors (e.g.: Ford, Chevrolet, Tesla, etc.). Having the expectation that...
