Our noise team helped design the tread pattern for optimal noise harmonics.
Are you noticing the issue at any speed above 50mph or just a certain range?
Hmm, this is the first I’ve heard of anyone having a noise performance issue. My tires on my R1T have good noise performance at all speeds on all my local road types. Do you know if your wheels and tires have been dynamically balanced?
I was a bit surprised that Rivian described the new Goodyear tire as an All-Season option. In reality, it performs well in both All-Season and All-Terrain environments. While it has rugged looks and capability, some of the top priorities for this tire were efficiency, snow and noise performance...
It is very challenging to predict how many miles a set of tires will last, particularly with the weight and torque of an EV vehicle. Tire mileage depends on factors like driving behavior, geographic location, weather, and road surfaces. Goodyear doesn’t have an official treadwear estimate, but...
Hi Ron, I would recommend the Rivian specific 275/60R20 Territory AT. The TrailRunner is a good tire, but the Territory AT was designed specifically to perform well on the R1. I feel the Territory AT offers the best combination of noise performance, efficiency, snow, ride, handling, etc...
I am at 2.52 mi/kWh on my Dual Performance Max with a mix of city and highway and mostly All-Purpose mode. With 3% conversion for 33" OD, the efficiency number is approximately 2.45.
@emlo, you will not need to convert your numbers as the 275/55R21 OEM tires are the same Outer Diameter as...
Hi @Jared2, the Goodyear tire designed for Rivian seems like a great match for your needs. I’ve been pleased with the efficiency numbers on this tire. It offers a good balance of All-Season and All-Terrain capabilities. You can find more information on this tire here. ...
I appreciate your opinion and feedback. I will pass it along to the Goodyear team.
I will say, whatever tire you have will have improved treadwear if the tires are inflated to the proper pressure and rotated on a consistent basis (Rivian recommends rotating the tires every 7500 miles).
As one of the designer's of the Goodyear Rivian tire, I can confirm that noise performance was a priority for the tire design. Certain road surfaces can introduce new harmonics for different types of tires. On my R1T with the Goodyear tire, I definitely notice wind noise at highway speeds, but I...
Like many tire manufacturers, Goodyear’s current policy is to not offer a treadwear warranty for Original Equipment tires. It’s tough to say if this policy could potentially change in the future. In general, a pro-rated warranty doesn’t guarantee a better or longer-lasting tire.
Thank you for pointing this out. The Goodyear team will reach out to Tire Rack to update the listing to reflect that this tire should be a “Yes” for 3PMSF.
