I've been gone for 2 days and the Rivian been parked at airport with gear guard off and it lost 13 miles already. Pretty bad...

They are available on tirerack. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Defender+LTX+M%2FS2&partnum=755HR1DLTX2XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Rivian&autoYear=2024&autoModel=R1S&autoModClar=275%2F55-21 I get all my tires from them and have them...

Wow great to know. I will take it in to get the seats checked out.

IMO I always have separate set of smaller 1 inch less diameter winter wheels and tires for my cars and SUVs including my Audi and BMW. I am confident that the 21s Michelins MS2 will be really good in the snow and ice and I wont have to switch to winters but its snowing soon here so I will...

I barely feel my heated seats on high when temps are below 40s here... Its medicore to say the least compared to any cars I have owned over 25 years.. Not sure if its a defect or not but I will have to try the passenger heated seat myself to see. Its lukewarm on high throughout my drives up to...

I find my heater pretty decent not as hot as my Audi or Ford Bronco but good enough so far down to the 30s but lets see when its in 10s or 20s here in Michigan. Steering wheel is hot enough Heated seats are so weak I barely feel it on high... Is there something wrong with it? I dont feel it much..

No please don't. Its not advisable to mix tires from different brands. The ride will be off and the handling will be weird.

Sure. So if someone texts me it be nice to hear and read the texts at same time and respond if needed. Hearing loss is very different for everyone. I cannot explain to you how hard it is to listen and drive at times. I do have convo with people in the front but it's hard with road noise etc...

I have the Pilot Sport 4S on my 2021 Audi RS7 and I love them. I am at 16k miles with them and they are 40-50 percent worn. They ride and handle amazing I got more than 30k on 2 sets for my previous Audi A7 with the 20s. Tirerack says Michelin will be planning to release more sizes next spring...

What about people with hearing loss like me?? I cannot hear siri or android auto voicing the texts to me very well and I prefer to see and type the appropriate responses... This is one of the biggest caveat with this Rivian. My BMW, Audi and Mercedes allows me to voice respond the texts and...

Stormtrooper here for my 2024 R1S!

I have the Kuat NV 2.0 and I love it! Its very expensive but so durable and worth it for my R1S. Because this car is so powerful you will need something to really lock down those bikes from swaying and potentially hitting the back door and bumper of the R1S.

I am getting average of 2.5 on the long distance highway driving with these Michelins on my 21s for the quad motor large battery pack R1S which is very good. City and highway average is 2.2 or so which isnt that much different from the pirellis. Just to be aware the tires need break in period...

Thats exactly what happened to me few days ago. I had to go to the bathroom and I lifted myself up from the drivers seat when parking the car in the garage and when I stop to wait for the garage door to open the car went into park.

Aha thats is why. The tires are very new and need to be broken into and heat cycled to get seated properly on the rims even after road force balancing. The steering wheel shake should slowly go away like it did on my Rivian after few hundred miles. I would drive it on the highways for a few...

I had noticed that feedback on certain roads with the Michelins a bit more than the Pirellis and initially even after having them road force the steering would do it occasionally at 80 mpg and above and after few hundred miles of the second road force balance, it went away completely and I just...

What road force numbers did you get for each wheel/tire set on the Michelins?

My Rivian R1S with the 21s on the new Michelin Defenders MS2 are smooth as glass up to 90s without steering wheel shimmy. Had them very carefully road forced and got the front 2s down to 5-6 lbs road force and rear 2 at 9 and 10 lbs. These are low numbers for glass smooth ride like the luxury...

Then take the tech for a drive yourself with him in the passenger seat to show them. I did that and got my tires re-road force at an independent installer and got all my wheels/tires below 10 lbs road force and its smooth now. I have the new Michelin Defenders MS2 21' size.

Oh good to hear that! Hopefully you can replace the other 2 OEMs with Michelins soon to get that best experience from the Michelins overall.
