Love pilot sports on my performance cars but I'd never put those on the Rivian as most of the time mine is doing family duties, home depot runs, off pavement stuff, winter driving or other truck stuff that just doesn't jive with what these are for. I guess if you want to set 0-60 times and 1/4 mile runs great but I'll just use my other cars for that.

This is great. I wished this was an option when I replaced my 22" few months ago.

The UTQG 300 A A will essentially means a short life tire. Given how hard Rivian is on tires, these maybe 15k mile tires under normal use.

Yea, I've been driving on 2.5/32's hoping that these would come out before I could wait no longer.

My OEM tyres are shot after 15K. If these last 15K I will view it as a huge win.

And they have a 30K mile warranty. So if these are toast in 15K as you predict the next set should be half off.

Those are going to be phenomenal but my god they are going to get worn in no time at all. A lead foot and my guess is less than 10k miles before needing replaced.

I would love to get a set of 22" wheels and wrap them with these Michelin tires to take full advantage of the 800+ HP / 900 TQ. The only thing missing after that would be an OTA for launch mode.

Right now Tire Rack has a promotion for 4 Michelin tires.

I wasn't expecting a 2" thick layer of foam on the inside. Hopefully it does something. More grip and also quieter would be pretty amazing.

Looking forward to the post after you have driven on them for a bit.

You much have bought them as soon as they showed available. I saw them in stock briefly.

Acoustic foam. It won't help handling, but it'll keep things quieter. Let us know how they work out!

Probably stupid question but these will fit on the 22” dark rims correct? I’m heading for new tires on my 22’s considering I’ve all but roasted off the stock ones already. I’m also interested in whether or not I can put up a faster 1/4 time with the tri as even with a perfect run I get wheel slip.

They are exactly the same size as your OEM 22 tires.

Absolutely! Assuming you never go offroad. :cool:

most of the trails around here you dont need mud tires, went off roading on some 22s, and 21st the other day and they were fine.
