Skid pad testing numbers for R2?

[wolfen]

I haven't been able to find any real information on here, but has anyone seen skid pad numbers for the R2?
There are all sorts of debates about which wheels/tires to choose, with varying degrees of useful information, but no one has posted (that I can find) actual skid pad numbers for both options.

That depends upon what you're driving!
The R2 will be my first SUV ever, so I'm hoping for something decent in numbers.
F1 cars pull over 5.0
High performance cars are over 1.0
I've owned a few cars that were in the mid 0.9's
A performance Model 3 pulls about 0.96
I'm hoping the R2 is at least in the mid 0.8's, and that stickier tires will help.

No "stickier tires" are currently available for R2

Thank you! Although that number is a bit disappointing. No wonder I've never had an SUV before!

Maybe just wait for the R3 then

I guess it wasn’t in the article I was thinking about, it’s here https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2027-rivian-r2-performance-launch-package-fully-tested.html

But looks like mt got worse numbers https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/...vs-ford-mustang-mach-e-comparison-test-review

That's not really a design goal with an SUV, sure it can be made a bit sportier, but it's fine for all regular street driving, with a few being decently fun and perky.

I mean, you can't shop something like a Miata and then complain about the cargo capacity
