When I did this a bit over a year ago (FL space coast to Seattle), I went with U-Haul U-boxes that I loaded and unloaded, and they picked up and shipped. One nice thing about those is that they easily tow behind an R1T (if you should need to do that), and they can be taken off thier little...

That seems like a very unlikely option given the OP's post. He described himself as "not a heavy off road user" and "Not interested in the 10+ pound heavier LT version". Maybe suggest a good XL/SL option instead?

You didn't say if you're looking for 275/60R20 or 275/65R20. That could make a difference for your available options. You also didn't say what you're prioritizing in terms of characteristics in an AT tire. Presumably not an emphasis on off-road performance if you're ruling out LTs. What about...

Late to the party, as usual, but I'm in Vancouver, WA, and am happy to offer demo drives. 2024 R1T, Comma 3x with Longitudinal cable.

Hope everyone is safe! It's amazing how much damage gets done to the other vehicle, how little damage ours look like they took, and yet how easily ours are totaled. I really hope this works out quickly for you.

One thing you *can* do to help in these situations is to get a decent dash cam with both forward and rear-facing cameras. The one I've got has a user-adjustable impact setting that triggers when I drive over low-profile lain markers or rumble strips. It would certainly trigger for a real impact...

Yep, take that video to your insurance company if you haven't already, and also reach out to the garbage collection company. They have insurance and will need to know you're filing a claim with video evidence of the incident. I hope they make this right for you quickly!

Man, that sucks! To say it's disappointing is quite an understatement. There's not much you can do now, and beating yourself up will not help either. Maybe a dashcam with 24x7 time-lapse and collision detection would have helped, but probably not under these circumstances. Maybe a...

SSB's have been demonstrated in labs for years. Like any new technology, it's *much* harder to advance it from the lab to real-world manufacturability than most people realize. It's, consequently, very easy to say "we've got something we're testing now". Sure you do. But how close are you to an...

Claims like this are ubiquitous. They've been saying for years that we're only a few years away. That said, a lot of money has been invested in SSB and other battery tech. Don't get me wrong, it's exciting to see reports like this, but I'm still in the I'll believe it when I see it mode. It's...

Found a great deal on these online, and Discount Tires is matching the price, so tomorrow I should be riding on 275/60R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G3's for $1096 out the door!

Thanks for the info! More info is always a good thing, and I’m glad those Coopers have worked out so well for you. Looks like the Coopers are available in 275/65R20, but not in 275/60R20. I’ve been pretty focused on a 33” tire, though for a more purely AT/off-road application a taller tire with...

I've basically ruled out the Goodyears at this point. I wanted to like them, and I get that they're designed *for* the R1 and have lots of great performance characteristics, but their tread wear characteristics (~1 mm/2000 miles with a starting tread depth of 10.8) just annihilates them for...

Any update on efficiency numbers for the Nitto Terra Grappler G3? Did/does the efficiency bounce back after a few 1000 miles, or did it stay in the 1.7-ish range @PowerBugs reported almost a year ago?

I have read this thread and am aware of ksurfier's posts. When I searched online, I was unable to find many corroborating claims of poor wet traction, and instead found mostly the opposite. For example, Tire Rack shows it is highly rated and specifically having excellent (8.6) wet traction...

Has anyone gone ahead and gotten these on their R1? If you have, I'd love to hear what you think of them in terms of handling, efficiency, treadwear, etc. I've narrowed my search down to either the 275/60R20 BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A or the Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT in the same size. In...

Any info on treadwear vs. miles driven?

How are they holding up for treadwear? I see lots of posts about great efficiency for an AT tire, but I'd love to see some more data points for real-world miles driven on them vs. actual tread depth.

Hey, can you give an update on your mileage and tread depth with the GY RIV spec tires? Your efficiency numbers with these are great, but I'm really curious how they're holding up.

Any update on treadwear? By my calculations, assuming an initial tread depth of 12/32, you were previously averaging an expected end of service life (2/32) around 28K miles. That sounds fairly terrible considering other GY AT tires have 50-55K mileage warranties. I guess I'm really hoping I...
