I'm in the same boat. I have it narrowed down to 3 tires all 275/65/20 (OEM size).

Continental Terrain Contact H/T - lighter than the Defender Platinum better snow performance.
Michelin Defender LTX Platinum - offers the highest milage warranty.
Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 - lightest among the 3, considered an on-road A/T tire.

I'm looking for a smooth, quiet tire the has the same or better efficiency as the OEM. Living in southern California snow or ice isn't a concern to me.

Are these all ā€˜rated’ or ā€˜approved’ for Rivian?
The stock scorpions average $250
The RIV and ELECT versions $450
Wtf?

As far as rated, yes. Not sure what tires other than the EV Pirelli are (approved) by Rivian.

I'm due for tire change and seriously considering this tire. I do you like it?
I came across it on walmart. Never heard of Nexen, but only tires I've is like michellin, goodyear, hankook so I don't think my name-recognition does justice here.
I've been very happy with the Nexen tires. Just make sure you have them road force balanced. They are heavier tires, and some tire shops don't offer road force balancing.
