And aside from the Michelin Defender Platinum, there aren't any AS tires that don't look like boring pavement donuts. But since Michelin only offers the Defender in LT form (in applicable size to us), that particular tire does not deliver on efficiency. So, no, you can't have your cake and eat...
It's an all weather, i.e. AS/AT hybrid, like the factory Goodyear. Not a real AT. If you want a quieter AT, Toyo OC AT3 EV or Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent among a few others. The Toyo is about the same price as the Pirelli AT. The Bridgestone is cheaper by about $100.

Agree. Every single owner should own a set of pucks and keep them in the car. Even if they don't foresee doing any DIY work. AND know what is in the Owner Guide about proper lifting procedures.
The reason: If you ever need emergency roadside assistance, chances are those coming to your rescue...
Per info on rivianroamer factory efficiency for the stock AT is 2.17. So the 2.11 observed number for these AS is slightly worse. Likely due to weight, being a LT.

Pucks are not needed at all if panels are removed to expose larger reinforced area. You just need to put something suitable between frame rail and jack saddle that will not be...
