We'll probably never know, but typically there's a LOT of negotiation, bids, and proposals to sift through. You're also gambling as to whether or not any of the other OEMs wanted to partner with Rivian (as a startup, that's a risk for them--invest in developing a tire line that may never sell in volumes to justify the R&D and spinning up manufacturing molds and lines to build).
A little father down the page for the AW01,
[AW01] is made in fully factory specs with increased payload, while [AW10] is wide and with a more aggressive offset for a different look.
Hmmm- this is super interesting as the stock 21" with tires is 85 lbs. I would argue the stock 21's with aero removed are still likely a bit more aero friendly, but an 15lb rotating mass reduction is a hell of a lot. I bet this setup is as efficient as the 21's, without the crazy expensive tires. IMHO looks better too.[AW10] 20x9, equipped with brand new 275/60/R20 MICHELIN DEFENDER LTX M/S2 275/60/20

Refinishing rims to any color you prefer is always an option. It is not expensive these days. Especially with [AW10] that has a center cap that is made out of aluminum, without any plastic, it is a pretty easy and straightforward thing
Would these tires for the R1S as well? Or would that be different? Also, is it possible to get a different RIM design/color instead of the gold color?Hello all,
As promised, we have completed the range and efficiency tests to provide you with numbers that are close to real-life conditions.
Today we are going to show you the range test for the following sets:
OEM 20" All-Terrain Dark set, equipped with 275/65/R20 Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires, with ~26000 miles on them
[AW10] 20x9, equipped with brand new 275/65/R20 Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires
[AW10] 20x9, equipped with brand new 275/60/R20 MICHELIN DEFENDER LTX M/S2 275/60/20
[AW10] + Factory-sized OEM Pirelli tires:
[AW10] + MICHELIN DEFENDER LTX M/S2 275/60/20:
Let's start with a simple thing - weighting each set

About the R1T we used to do tests:
2022 R1T adventure
No Reinforcement shield
35000 miles on the clock
Quad with Large pack
About the test:
- Loop-style ~25-mile drive (~12.5 mi each way) to minimize wind and terrain impact
- 70 mph by GPS
- All-purpose mode
- Standard Height
- Soft Ride
- High Regen
- Pressure in tires between 48 and 50 psi
- Climat set to 70F at minimum speed
- The tonneau cover is closed
- The only driver in the car
- No spare in the compartment but all the stuff that is usually traveling in the truck is not taken out
Test #1Temperature outside - 23F
Factory set
Battery at 67F
Considerably noticeable wind
24.3 mi driven
Average speed 66mph
22 minutes long
The final efficiency is 1.63mi/kWh
Considering the weather, and adding 20% that we are losing during cold weather. That means in good conditions efficiency would be 1.956 mi/kWh which aligns with lifetime calculation. That means the range in All-Purpose will be 264 mi, which again aligns with claimed by Rivian numbers for this setup.
Temperature outside - 28F
Battery at 64F
Considerably noticeable wind
24.3 mi driven
Average speed 66mph
22 minutes long
The final efficiency is 1.72mi/kWh
Considering the weather, and adding 20% that we are losing during cold weather. That means in good conditions efficiency would be 2.064 mi/kWh. That means the range in All-Purpose will be 278 mi.
The purpose of this test is to show, that when you're switching to [AW10] with factory AT tires you won't experience a bigger hit in range, more to say, you will see a small increase in efficiency due to saving a bit of total weight. A wider rim and more aggressive offset are not affecting efficiency that much if at all.
Temperature outside - 34F
Battery at 62F
Considerably noticeable wind
25.1 mi driven
Average speed 68mph
22 minutes long
The final efficiency is 2.04mi/kWh
Considering the weather, and adding 20% that we are losing during cold weather. That means in good conditions efficiency would be 2.448 mi/kWh. That means the range in All-Purpose will be 330 mi. Theoretically, in this case, the range exceeds the claimed range when your R1 is equipped with factory 21-inch wheels, even in All-Purpose mode.
We also can say, that a 0.5" wider rim with a more aggressive offset does not affect efficiency, because you are saving unsprung weight on a fully assembled wheel due to a lighter fully forged [AW10].
We are preparing a video version of the test, with full-length drives for those who will think we are manipulating with numbers.
[AW10] 20x9 is in stock in 3 colors:
Satin Bronze
Satin + Transparent Black
Satin Black

R1T and R1S have absolutely the same rims and tires. Our rims are also designed for both models.
The blacks look nice! When my tires wear out, I will definitely reach out to you!
Given the distance is the same, you simply need to focus on the energy used. The larger tires show 15 and 14kWhr used while the smaller 275/60x20 size show 12kWhr over the same test distance in similar conditions. While not super precise there’s enough of a difference (10-20% less energy) to merit consideration.
