21" Tires a problem ANY suggestions ?

[Scubagoalie]

Needing to replace my 275/55/21 tires after 25K miles Looks like ONLY options are Pirellis (the same that is on there Now) which I am not impressed with
OR the Micheline Defender LTX MS/2 which appear to be out of stock nationwide for approx 60 days +

ANY suggestions for other tires or manufactures for these rims ?

that is it for 21".

YES 21's for a 2023 R1T

I suggest going with 20s or 22s. You will have more options to choose from, especially w/the 20s.

I know the cost of doing so, since you will need to buy the rims. I was in the same situation. I went with the 22s.

This is why they discontinued the 21" for Gen 2

Yes, it hurts to know this.

@EV Sportline has a great deal on right now where you get 650 off running boards if you get rims or tires great deal. I got the r1600's and put rubber on to match the diameter of the 21s. (275 60 r20).

Hey, the Scorpion Verde is better than the new 22" range wheels on gen2. Gen 1 21" are about $475 per tire but the Gen 2 22" range tires are about $560 per tire. Of course with 22" you do have more options for tires. You also have more for 20" as well.

I had the same issue but was able to get the 21" Defenders ordered and installed at Discount Tire in August. I continuosly watched Tire Rack and DT websites (for about three months) and ordered quickly when they showed in stock. It was worth the price and wait - great tires at a good price.

That's where I'm on the waiting list now but a 30 to 60 day backorder UG

thank you

I know there is an extensive list of tires and I’m looking for wheels now. Has anyone researched and documented what wheels are available? I don’t want to overlook any good options and I’m done with the 21” tire debacle.
thanks in advance
