R1S - new wheels - any tire center recommendations in NJ?

[akc5247]

Almost 27,000 miles on my R1S and looks like I would need to replace the tires soon(ish).

I'm looking at the Michelin's (21") and was looking at getting them installed at the Costco in one of the nearby areas in Central NJ, but if anyone has specific guidance/ recommendations around tire change/install, please let me know.

I have the tire pucks so happy to provide them to a recommended tire center in NJ that anyone has used.

Thanks in advance!

You are lucky, I had to change mine at 15,600 miles. Replaced at costco with Michelin. Costs me around $1600.00. This is after I did my rotations every 5k miles, done at Discount tires. No one wants or will do a tire rotation at 15k miles, they all said I need new tires.

Thank you!

Which Costco location did you go to?

Any issues with installation, anything to be aware of, etc?

I am in Buford, GA. Yes everything fine. I had a recall service Advanced Safety calibration yesterday. They tightend all bolts and checked everything. Running great. Rivian paid for it. It's there preferred vendor.

No issues with installation. Tire manager at costco make sure and called rivian center for the tire compatability .

Update for those searching for similar options -

Got Michelin Defender LTX 21" installed today on my R1S by ETD Tires. Came to ~1880 including warranty, taxes, install fees.

As expected, they only asked for the Jack Pucks which I supplied.

For a smoother ride on a Gen 1 R1S, I'm considering switching from the 21-inch wheels to 20-inch all-season tires. Has anyone made this change? I'm also curious about their off-road capability for occasional trails and what impact it has on range.

Yes, some have done it. If you search the forum and the Facebook page, you'll find some threads around it.
