So, quick question, do any builds NOT have the wind noise issue? I have a September 23 R1S, and set out to do the painter tape trick and I noticed no difference in wind noise at various highway speeds.

Anyone else seen or had this issue? My rear hatch is catching the roof.
Looking from the back I can tell the roof rear plastic has been bowed in.
I'd love to use my rear hatch, but scared to!
Booked a service appointment, but of course it is months out.
Anyone have...
Have completed a few days on the latest update. Have done long hauls on the the highway and some modest off roading.
Verdict? Yes, it's much better. So much so, that "suspension" has slipped from number one complaint into number three.
It's now time to look into noise isolation, and the audio...
I tried quite a few solutions and oddly the simplest is my fav.
Uniden R8. Hardwired with a mirror tap kit. Mounted with a generic modified eBay bracket. Affixed to rearview with 3M adhesive.
Bend leaves just enough room to access top mounted buttons.
Surprised I liked this one the most...
That's me. I am running with Nitto Recon Grappler XL in 275/60/20. They are ATs. So, they certainly won't be as efficient HTS60.
Will report back with some stats at 1K miles. Give me two weeks? But, preemptively, not as efficient as the 21" Pirelli AS (expected) ... not sure where they...
The XLs, yes. SLs, not so much.
Yeap, XL is 33", costs a good $250 less per set, and shaves a pound per tire. Got mine from tire rack, here.
No idea if they will have the same efficiency as OP? Put 600 miles on them so far. Will report back at 1K miles.
Swapped stock Pirelli A/S for 33" Recon XLs a week ago. They are a pound lighter than the SL Recon.
Had 10K on the Pirelli. No volt-sipping for me, I do mostly 80+ highway commuting at high speed in AP mode and Standard height. So, I run them.
Will report on effeciency after I get 1K miles...
Ya, got all the work done on Easter so had some surprise visits.
Also, first time seeing the CT in person! It is um ... certainly something to behold ... and the metallic red wrap helps, but would never trade my R1S in for one.
So happy with my choice!
@Polar - Good eye. Yeap, that's the LinerX, but cut in half. Other half is in the frunk, for a bit of coverage. What do you want for the crossbars shipped to South Carolina? PM me.
I went with some Nitto Recon Grappler XL in 275/60/20 = https://www.tirerack.com/tires/nitto-recon-grappler-a-t...
