Yes, also very interested what numbers you see!
Our R1T is due next month (oh boy!!) and we went with 20's for the weight, strength, and diameter of the wheels more than the off-road aspect...though I'd love to have a road AND off-road set ideally.

If it's not rude to ask, where did you source the wheels?
you didnt hear it from me lol but i got them from rivian...they werent supposed to do it though so doubt many will be able to get this now. however after buying the rims, tpms and center caps the total comes out to $3100 so for an additional $1100 you can get at tires that you could sell for $1500.
What do you have now, what is your efficiency?
Where are you in Va?
What are you doing with what you pulled off?
Your doing EXACTLY what I want to do as spare set - congrats I envy you!
I have done a couple tests from 100% battery and in temps above 80 where I have to have ac running in conserve mode i would get roughly 330 miles at 2.4 miles/kw driving 50/50 highway city. when temps are 70 and no ac i get almost 350 at 2.55 miles/kw and with temps getting a little colder around 50-60 even with no heat i am getting 315 miles. havent really had the heat on too much yet but with the little bit of heat on im getting around 300 miles.

I am in VA in the newport news/va beach area...i am just trying to get more tire options...i dont really tow much and no where around here to do off roading so mostly highway driving. i just look for something comfortable and low noise.
Looks like the tire weight will be alot less as from what I can find the OEM tire is 57lbs and OPs tire choice is 42-44lbs?

Is that right?
i will weigh the tires if i get a chance but its advertised as 38lbs.
The 38 lbs Scorpion AS+ 3 sounds like a good choice. Did you also consider the slightly heavier (42 lbs) Michelin Defender LTX M/S? I think the Pirelli is better in terms of comfort while the Michelin probably has the edge in snow traction. I'm wondering which one has the better rolling resistance.
i looked at all of them...however the only 2 choices where max tire pressure was over 50psi were the pirelli scorpion as plus 3 and continental terraincontact h/t 115h. also the pirellis were rated higher especially in the comfort ratings so I would have went with these anyway.

Did you go with 275/65/20 or 275/60/20 tires?

Shoot. I called Rivian a few days ago to ask about getting wheels-only. They said they'd call me back. They never did. Just called in again and got confirmation that they won't sell just wheels. Only wheel+tire combo.

I may have to contact my local SC directly instead of the toll-free line.

Yes this ^
There was no way to call the sc directly for me but like I said they confirmed they aren'tsupposed to do it but I think the only reason they did it was because they had 1 rim without a tire laying around so they completed that to sell me.

I guess I got lucky but like I said earlier you might as well just but the package and sell the tires as the entire package is only 1100 cheaper while the tires brand new are 1650

Yeah, but I don't need a second set of 20"-AT tires. ?

I just want a set of AT-Brights to mount "road" tires on. (Those Continentals look great. Better than the other options I'd been researching.)

Given it’s different spec compared to the factory 20” AT tires, did the service center do some adjustment for you so that it’ll show the correct range estimate, etc.?

I will edit the 1st post as I have now decided to Go with the pirelli scorpion all season plus 3... These were rated the highest especially in comfort amongst all the highway tires

My truck originally came with the 21s which are 33" tires just like the ones I ordered for the 20s.

what speed are you driving to get those impressive m/kWh ?

My efficiency is horrible compared to that.

its a mix of city driving 40-50mph and highwya driving at 65-75mph...average speed i believe was like 45mph though. when i was getting the 350 miles though that was when temps were 75 and no wind for a few days. remember im in conserve mode as well...in regular mode im getting 5% less than that.

Well the other nit is I don’t think that the SC will let you leave with the 20’s in your bed, they’re going to want to mount them and recode the speedo for the new tires.

Nice. 33”, lighter weight and AS should get you some great road range.

I’m hoping to find a 60 profile in proper load snow treads for the 20” but looks like that may take a season or two.
