So far, I'm seeing a roughly ~6% reduction in range (compared to 21" road tires, my previous set) on average. This includes mixed highway and city driving in AP mode.Any update on efficiency with these tires? Eager to hear your impressions so far!
Can you clarify whether this is ~6% reduction in range from your previous 20" tires to your current, or ~6% reduction in range compared to 21" tires?So far, I'm seeing a roughly ~6% reduction in range on average. This includes mixed highway and city driving in AP mode.
However, I just had Rivian service come out and perform a software update which may change the wheel settings in-car and range calculation. I'll circle back once I've had enough time with this update.
Awesome. Thanks for keeping us updated!My previous set was 21" road tires, so yeah 6% reduction compared to those.
While that isn’t terrible, I’m a little surprised. I was expecting this tire/wheel combo to be the same or possibly slightly better than stock 21’s. Just curious, did you have your aero covers in with the 21’s. I’ve done a little research and seen they have around a 3% effect.My previous set was 21" road tires, so yeah 6% reduction compared to those.
There may be some room error in these numbers. I'll be able to share more accurate data soon, now that the truck's software has been updated to reflect the change in wheel size.

none of these tires are lined with foam and wished they were as they would probably help a decent amount in these types of tires and the frequency it creates.How’s the noise vs the pirellis? Aren’t the pirellis foam lined and these are not? Defenders are excellent tires.
