Tested 35" tires on the R1T - for offroading / overlanding

[TXR1S]

No rubbing yet, and there's quite a bit of clearance on the lowest so I expect it to be fine. But, I got them installed not long ago, so I'll report back once I have put them to the test - including any sort of range impact. Will know more s00n.

Any initial updates on range / how you’re liking the 285/65R20 Outpost AT?

Yeah, life got a bit in the way and I haven't been able to do as much with them yet as I wanted to. But, the overall feedback so far is that the tires are great - great ride and very stable - overall a smoother and better experience than the OEM AT Pirellis IMHO.

I sense that the Nokians are tracking the unevenness in the road a lot less than the OEMs. But, to be fair, this could also be somewhat related to the steering adjustments update Rivian made in the latest OTA update.

As for range - need more time for this as I have mostly done mountain driving in colder weather over the last few weeks. My previous average number on the OEMs were mixed flat/mountain in mostly warmer temps. So far the Nokians has an average about 1.75 mi/kWh, while the OEM AT Pirellis were 2.04 mi/kWh ... As I get more miles on them I'd expect this average to even out more with time, but probably will stay below 2 - I'm hoping for 1.9x something...

Possibly of interest, Thuren Fabrication has machined their own wheels, 20" x 8" with +50 offset. In addition to the standard Rivian AT (275/65R 20) they've tried 295/60R 20, and 295/65R 20 tires. See their discussion and a short video at: https://www.thurenfabrication.com/products/rivian-deca-hd-20-inch-wheel

Has anyone tried anything in 35x11.5R20?

The Falken Wildpeak AT3W in this size looks great. A hair smaller than the 285/65r20, which we know fits, and a couple pounds less. Load Range D.

I have a post with Thurens running 35x11.5 Falken Wildpeak R/T's. The Thuren's give you maximum ability to stuff the biggest tires possible as the 8.0in width helps a lot as well as a little more positive offset. Zero rub so far but only tested minimally in lowest (not sure why anyone would run this combo in lowest.

Why bother is the question that nobody asks … the pirellis seem fine to me.

if you really want to get crazy, figure out how to fit 40s in there, grind away, and take it on Rubicon or Metal Masher or something with the modified rigs and get yourself a million views on YouTube.

If you’re aspiring to “off road” in Utah or somewhere dry do it in highway tires and you’re less likely to damage your vehicle by overestimating your abilities.

Range update - the 285/65R20 Nokian Outpost AT seems to be doing the same as the OEMs. My average mi/kWh has actually improved a tad bit since replacing the Pirellis.

the Nokians are great offroad

Im installing my set in a couple weeks! These seem to be very hard to find now- mine are made in Finland, assuming yours are too?

Discount tire told me that their Nokian Rep said the Outpost NAT won’t be in production for this size until next year, not sure if true.

Yes, says “made in Finland”, and the DOT plant code is 1YL.

I just ordered the @EV Sportline package with the R800 Compass 8 Spoke 20" Flow Forged Wheel & Tire Package by Team 1EV for Rivian R1T / R1S with the OE-sized Falken A/T3W mounted & balanced. Our R1S should be delivered in a few weeks and I will swap out the wheels & tires asap. Looking forward to updating here with pics!
