275/60R20 is finally available to order online from discount tire: https://www.americastire.com/buy-tires/michelin-defender-ltx-m-s2/p/127371
I already ordered a set and getting them installed next week!
I think there may be a wave of new people getting into speciality EV cars.
ICE exotic and sports cars attract people with noises, vibration, and stuff like that. But some people don't really care for that. I would like to have a small zippy sports car, but I hate the noises they make (yes, I...
Very noticeable improvement on R1S. I understand why someone may not like this suspension tuning but I think it's quite brilliant for an SUV. Thank you Rivian!
I got the same price ($2996) but rounded up :P
I got the rims, but haven't put them on yet. I'm hoping to get new Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires in 275/60R20 as soon as they're available this October. I think that's going to be one of the best tire choices for Rivian unless you're into real...
Tire information is already available on the Michelin website. 119S rating confirmed!

The key here is "by American standards". For whatever reason we decided to engage in the arms race in this country to have the biggest and most effective pedestrian killer car possible but I feel like I'd be screaming into the void on this forum so I digress.
I disagree. To each their own only applies if you're not actively impacting other people safety.
Abominations like that is a road hazard. Rivian is already a huge vehicle with limited visibility. Those modification make it a perfect pedestrian, dog and child killing machine. And a pretty...
Those are probably the new Defender LTX M/S2 tires. They should come in 275/50R22 size with 119S load rating. Available s00n at $500.
That's actually very exciting! I'm planning to put 275/60R20 tires on my R1S. They have 116H load rating, so big box stores should be able to install them.
Another data point. Got quote from Bellevue SC for AT darks. $3k for the wheels, $140 for center caps and $323 for TPMS. Seems consistent with other quotes from Bellevue but higher than some other SCs. I ended up buying them. I think buying dark wheels separately is still a better deal than...
I did XPEL PRIME XR UV on front windows and windshield. 20 on windows and 70 on the windshield. 20 matches factory tint perfectly in my opinion. 70 is barely noticeable visually.
It didn't get too hot since we tinted it but on 85 degree day it was nice and cool inside with AC running on speed 1.
Isn't just a regular LTX? The new tire is Defender LTX M/S2! :) I really hope that Defender LTX M/S2 will have 116 load rating in 275/60/R20. That's going to be a bomb!
It depends on the tire size! If you go with the stock size 275/65/20 for AS you don't have to do anything because the size is exactly the same as AT tire.
If range is the absolute top priority, you can go with a 275/60/20 tire. Overall size is going to be the same as 21, just less wheel and...
Thank you! Both me and my wife absolutely in love with compass yellow. Rivian did such an amazing job with colors. They are all really vibrant and look stunning. Arguably best colors on the market of any manufacturer. I changed my pre-order more times than I could count.
I'm thinking about...
Unfortunately the wheels are not exactly what I wanted but hey, at least the delivery is almost 1 year faster than promised! Going to order 20" dark wheels as soon as the customer service opens on Monday. Going for a full bumble bee look ?
How do you know if shop access is denied or approved? We finally managed to request one on Friday over the phone. Didn't get any communication from Rivian yet one way or the other. Nov 11 preorder in Seattle area.
