20” quiet tire recs other than Defender and not lame looking?

One of the members here, Jose @Kryptonlogic has a website that has a list of tires that fit along with pictures, efficiency (both predicted efficiency, and real world numbers), stats, and reviews from other Rivian owners. It's definitely a good site: https://riviantrackr.com/rivian-tire-guide/

Maybe you could try the Cosmo Gripit XT and let us know what you think?

I’m running Cosmo tires, less aggressive tread. Less noise and wear more evenly. Never buying OEM again.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the Hankook Ion HTs. There aren’t a ton of reviews but what’s out there is all positive. They’re similar to the Defenders, much cheaper, and have a more aggressive A/T look (sort of) with the sidewall styling. I’m definitely going to give them a go once my OEM’s wear out. Great wet performance and 80k tread wear warranty too. Seem like the perfect fit for you!

Here you can go window shopping, though mostly 22s.

I did earlier. I am just about to pull the trigger on a set. Not sure if I get the 21” set of wheels and get them at that size, or keep my 20” wheels. I love the look and comfort of the 20” tires, but am on the fence prioritizing range. Either way, seems like a great tire and price.

I replaced the OEM 20" Pirelli all terrain tires on my 2023 R1T with a set of Hankook Ion HTs about 2,000 miles ago. The Pirellis had about 12,000 miles on them. For street driving, the Hankooks are a noticeable upgrade. They provide a smoother ride, and my driving efficiency improved from 2.1 to 2.4 miles per kWh. I haven’t tested them off road yet, but I’d be surprised if they perform as well as the Pirellis did. The main trade off is that the Hankooks are a harder/stiffer tire at the same PSI, which is likely why they’re rated for 80k miles. The ride isn’t rough or jarring, but you can feel the difference in firmness. I paid around $1,100 out the door at Discount Tire for a set of four tires. I’d have no hesitation recommending them at this point, especially when compared to the $500-per-tire alternatives.
