I’m happy with the efficiency. Please note I have not been able to get Rivian to update my tire size from its original 34” tire OD to the Goodyear 33” tire. Factoring in the 3% offset gives an efficiency conversion of 2.45.
Some clarifications… The Goodyear tire has the 3PMSF symbol. It is not a dedicated snow tire that may have tradeoffs in other performance areas. There are many examples of 3PMSF tires with good tread wear. The UTQG temperature grade is for high speed capability. Tire Rack has a good explanation...
@ksurfier, @LL75,
It is important to note that the actual UTQG grading is done by the tire manufacturers themselves. They conduct the tests according to the guidelines set by the NHTSA and then assign the grades based on the results. There can be some variability in how different manufacturers...

In speaking with the Goodyear design team, the consensus is that the tire design should perform well for noise performance. I suggest having the Rivian service center review the tire noise you are experiencing and ask if it could be related to the suspension issue.
If you continue to experience...
Hi Bryan, yes, I am still very pleased with the noise and efficiency of 2.52 mkh (~2.45 after 3% size conversion) after 4200 miles with these tires on my R1T.

Hi all, @J400, I apologize for the delay. The team continues to investigate. It does seem your experience is isolated as myself and others have not had noise issues.
Hi @babs89, welcome to the party! Goodyear’s Wrangler Territory line is designed to optimize tires for specific vehicle manufacturers. The Rivian version shares some DNA with the Ford tire, but each tire is a unique collaboration between Goodyear and the vehicle manufacturer to ensure top...
Hi all, I am still working with the Goodyear team to come up with ideas that could contribute to less than ideal noise performance. I am glad to hear that this seems to be an isolated case and most are pleased with the noise and overall performance of the tire.
