Poll - What kind of replacement tires are you most interested in?

[R1Thor]

Ok thanks - Wasn’t sure saw something about 45f so was thinking it’s a softer compound more for winter, the 33” size looks really good at only 46#…I might look at Open Country R/T Trail too since it’s a few pounds lighter…

FWIW: Weight (albeit, unsprung weight has a different significance, for sure) is only one factor.

With an EV, the aerodynamics of your wheel and tire setup are going to make a relatively significant impact, as is rolling resistance. If those are mitigated, I'd bet my Engineering degree it'll actually be more efficient than a similar lighter tire that isn't engineered for rolling resistance.

That said, if you can find something that does all 3 things really well, then that's where the money's at!

Replacement Tires are a tricky thing with the R1's, lots of opinions and different options depending on your level of comfort if you step away from the OEMs.

Here's a poll to see where the average forum member stands:

I have the 22” tire/wheels. At 19k I replaced the Pirelli’s with Continental Terrain Contact H/T’s. I now have 7k miles on them and they have been exceptional. Ride nice, quiet, same or no difference in efficiency, 70k mile warranty. At 7k they have worn 1/32, so potentially will last 50k+ for 1/2 the price of the OEM Pirelli’s.

These are on my list for when my 22s need replaced. I also saw that there are some Michelin 22s that I might consider. I put around 17k+ miles on my vehicle each year so I’m glad you are having a good experience with the Contis

I waited as long as I could for the new Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 but it wasn’t available. That should be a great tire.

Atturo Trail Blade ATS and the Continental Terran Contact A/T

if I had 20s I like the Michelin. Ran into a Rivian Owner from Washington on his way to Texas in Green River Utah and he loved them and they look awesome.

I don't do a whole lot of off roading and swap for a snow tire in the winter so I could get by with non-AT tires. If there's a decent 20" tire that improves range, I'll go with that. Otherwise, just stick with the Pirellis.

What’s the load rating. I saw at discount tire it is 115H. Last time I was there they would not put anything on that was less than 116.
who put your continentals on?

Yes, it’s a 115 H is correct. Got them at discount tire they had no issue. I never mentioned it. They never mentioned it.

I will give it a try. Need new summer tires. I have Michelin ice x 115s on now but had to have mobile independent tire installer do it. Discount Tire refused to do it. So strange…
