Thank you for the advice. I thought it sounded good plus limited options. Like you said. Rock and hard place.
I'd take it for the $2200 and run! I'd be curious if they are the Pirelli or the GoodYear 20". The Pirelli's will get LOUD after about 10k miles.
the are pirelli scorpions.

You will take a range hit with the ATs, assuming you had all-seasons or something similar before on your 21s.
Yep. Taking the hit for now. 370 versus 410 on charge. Not sure how that will actually translate until I do a road trip.

News to me. Rivian said since they discontinued 21 inch wheels they happen to have a set of 20 inch wheels plus tires all-terrain that they are cutting me a deal on. Brand new four tires and four wheels for $2200 plus tax. I also get to keep the old rims that I can use for a spare. Thoughts on this
Do it! If you want efficiency, see if they'll do you 20" + All-Season instead of All-Terrain. But I'm betting they're discounting the older wheels+tires combo, and wouldn't discount the newer.

Agree. There is more road noise. I wanted road tires but the rims were free through Rivian so I’m taking the hit for now.

Sell the tires and buy some good all-seasons and you will still come out far ahead financially. I think you made the right call.
