20” Tire Efficiency Differences on Tri?

[bfilippo]

Hi Folks,

I recently swapped my Dual Standard R1T with the 20” OEM Goodyear Territory for a Tri Max R1T with the 20” AT Dark Pirelli’s.

I really prefer the smoothness of the 20” ride, which is why I opted for these (they won’t let you get the 20” Goodyear setup on any other configuration), but obviously the pirelli’s are not the most efficient (apparently also louder but honestly that’s not a big deal to me.)

Has anyone with a Tri or Gen2 Quad swapped their 20” stock tires and tracked the range/efficiency difference? I’m considering getting a set of the Goodyear Territory, Michelin Defender LTX or Goodyear Electric Drive for better range during the summer/fall and camping trips, but am curious if it’s enough difference to bother with.

Thanks!

If looking for best efficiency, the only real standout tire is the General grabber weighing in at only 34#, there may be other drawbacks (short tread life) that make it not worth it. The Goodyear Rivian tire is a great choice, but isn’t likely to be significantly different than the Pirelli efficiency wise.

Gen1 Quad here - I’ve got 900 miles on my LTX so far - I can’t say they are any more efficient than my Pirellis. Going to increase my PSI to 60 for the next 1,000 miles to see if increases efficiency but at the expense of comfort
