22" Michelin Tires @ Costco for under $2K installed (compatible with Rivian 22" factory wheels)

[ChitownRivianFan]

I was at Costco over the weekend and inquired if they carry anything that fits our Rivian 22 in wheels. Surprisingly he said they can special order a Michelin 22 in Tires that are rated for 50K miles. The cost for all 4 came to under $2K installed. He showed me Winter tires set that fits these wheels as well that was about ~$250/tire

Anyone replaced stock Pirelli's with other brands that have better tread life?

What's the load rating for those tires?

Those are probably the new Defender LTX M/S2 tires. They should come in 275/50R22 size with 119S load rating. Available s00n at $500.

That's actually very exciting! I'm planning to put 275/60R20 tires on my R1S. They have 116H load rating, so big box stores should be able to install them.

All for under $2000?
Did that include dismounting the old, and installing the new? I guess so. It seems reasonable and you have the Costco piece of mind.
There are "No Name Brand" tires that you can get for about $1,000 installed if you're willing to take that chance.

I have the 21s. I like Michelin tires ...would love to see more options for the 21in

I'd really double check those specs on the tires...

Considering that Tire Rack carries Michelin and these are the only 22" tires from Michelin that they show that will work on an R1S, I would check that load rating again:

I saw where someone put on a set of Continental Terrain Contact A/T tires for a more aggressive look and they reported no major impacts to range. I looked those up and they look like the specs meet the OEM tires, except for speed rating (T vs H).

Obviously no one is taking their R1 out on the town at 130MPH, but I’m sure there are some down falls going with a tire with a lower speed rating. I’m assuming they may wear faster or not be covered by the tire warranty. Worst case in a major accident I’m assuming an insurance company could use it as a contributing factor to reject coverage.

I thought I heard a Michelin 21” was coming soon? I hope so at least

I’m interested in the Defender LTX M/S2 tires. I really don’t like the tires we have now.

Yes the load rating on regular tires are 119 and the SNOW tires match too but he didn't see the load rating on those.

$2K all inclusive - Costco service includes, removing old one installing new + tire rotation on regular intervals.

I have 8K miles and feel that OEM tires are already showing quite a bit of wear - normal hwy driving.

Same tire. Same price. Just in 21” sizing.

Cost has changed things up. Thier tire prices are all inclusive and currently $50 to $100 OFF for a full set of Michelins.

Great news; anyone have thoughts on the ride yet?

the Michelins have higher tread wear ratings which theoretically should make them ride/handle a bit rougher

 

[Donald Stanfield]

When are these Michilins out? Do they have the 21's now?
