Race Tire for R1's

[sum_avg_guy]

I saw this video posted a few weeks ago. It was a great comparison, but it definitely feels like the R1 is at a massive disadvantage with massive all terrain tires. has anyone looked into what wheel / r compound tire package would make this a more comparable race for the Rivian ? Would love to see a "Sport +" mode offered for someone looking to press the limits of a Rivian as a street truck.

Nothing available in the right size/load rating.

Would a set of these on the 21in rims now work ? Load rating for 1984lbs. I know it would be a problem if you loaded up the bed, but again just looking for max acceleration and handling

As my ATs slipped the other day when I stood on it, I wondered the same thing.

Those Trofeo-R’s at $600+ per corner will be a very expensive experiment… be sure to VBox that thing!

I don't know if Rivian does their speed limiter based off GPS speed or tire RPM, but if you have the 20AT tires, when the speedo reads 111 mph (the max speed the truck will go) you'd only be going ~90 mph on those tires. Unless you're doing auto-x, that's way too slow.
