Only anecdotally, Tire Rack has a review of someone returning them due to extremely poor performance, looking at the tread, reminds me of a cargo tire, meant for driving straight on the highway and little else, pretty sure there are 15-20 better options for the Rivian than the platinums, namely...

For anyone considering the platinum, here's a look at some others in addition: All of these are right about 9-inches wide so they should match the 20" OEM width of 9.1". For anyone moving from 21"/22", diameters between 32.5" - 33.5" shouldn't need recalibration. CONTINENTAL TERRAINCONTACT...

What size are you running? I don't see any that would fit 20/21/22 OEM tires...

No issues that I know of, check thread here for more details: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/hello-from-discount-tire.23040/page-13 Plain and simple, if you are going to be towing/offroading then you prob. will want a 119+ load rating tire, for those that stay will under the 8500...

That’s interesting, wonder who pays the insurance on a vacant building? Maybe owners are defaulting on their payments since income is limited?

Looking at the data, I would guess it was the jump in losses between 2020 and 2022, going up from $160 B to $240 B, which represents an annual increase of 20-25%. Sounds like EV repairs could certainly be a factor as well, inflation likely to blame for some of the increase…maybe someone from...

At almost 4k, 20" OEM fronts are trending towards a final mileage of 18k, and rears are trending towards 22.5k. With proper rotation will likely get 20k, rotate every 5k...sounds like some have been able to get ~25k-30k. Conserve mode causes the increased front tire wear...if using conserve...

I think you might be robbing yourself of 10-20% efficiency due to low tire pressure. you should try 60-65 psi and do a 15 minute drive under same conditions and compare to 48 psi. Contact patch plays a role in efficiency. At 48 psi, CP per wheel is roughly 6”x6”. At 65 psi, CP per wheel is...

How is the efficiency looking? Is it LT 80 psi, if so what psi are you running at?

I couldn't even get quotes from local insurance dealers, told them I had a good rate from AAA and they said they've been hearing from many people that AAA is one of very few providers currently in CA marketplace...not trying to do an ad for AAA at all, just sharing my experience...hope more...

After 10 years I would guess the 2033 value of the R1S to be $30k and the R1T to be $20k, each with 150,000 miles. Total gas/service savings compared to ICE SUV would be $30k-$40k. Depreciation of $10k/year for first 2-3 years, plus additional $5k/year after that…$50k R1S year 5, a lot depends...

In CA, AAA was the only reasonable option…hopefully that doesn’t change…

Each manufacturer sets their own terms, my understanding is Michelin has one of the better warranties, a credit is issued to the place of service, they pass the credit to your replacement purchase. Will need to be OEM tire and rotations will need to be documented (same place of service with...

It’s essentially the M/S and M/S2 where results for either exist. Sounds like efficiency went down slightly for the newest version (nothing official). Not sure about the one you mentioned, I don’t pay any attention to >50# tires, most of them only get 1.6 mi/kwh (and $$$), there may be 1-2...

that’s correct

UPDATED TO ADD TERRAINCONTACT H/T OPTION: SCORES HIGHEST SINCE IT IS CLOSEST TO 20" OEM PARAMETERS, BUT BETTER UTQG (720), ALSO THE HIGHEST SCORING TIRE RACK TESTS. EFFICIENCY UNKNOWN. It's not very clear, there are so many factors/variables for efficiency (most important being speed and...

It's just physics, do you use one inch wide knife blades at home too! Will watch that video though....

Quoting google for you: " Snow driving — Because there is low friction on the road, having greater pressure on the road is more important than having more surface area. Therefore, narrow tires perform better when the roads are covered with snow, since they can dig deeper into the snow...

Narrow tire width is what gives a tire strong snow/ice performance (think of an ice skate and how narrow the blade is). Take the Michellin X-ICE SNOW for example, tread width is 7.7" in the 275/60R20 Size. I've heard the 20" OEM tires don't do great in the snow/ice (ok but sketchy for some...

MF works out to 8% interest rate (2400 x 0.0034), not good but prob. average for today's rates...maybe 1-2% above the best rates from credit unions...
