Me too - a 10% efficiency gain would be great and would, in theory, extend my max range from 273 to exactly 300. I'm hoping the SL version becomes available in the next 2-3 months because I'm guessing it will be even more efficient (or at least no less) and I really don't need the ability to go off road.
yeah that doesn't surprise me at all with those. They're known for being loud, and have by design historically not focused on on-road characteristics. They have a newer tire coming out that should improve in that area quite a bit.
You got it - my wife loves the look of the AT-style tire. Her brother worked at Rivian as a brand director and asked one of the product development guys which wheels we should order and got a "20" Dark - No Question" response so that's what we ordered. So - my ideal tire would be an all-season that has the AT look. I suspect the Toyo EV 116H will be as close as we get.
Grab the michelin defenders that people rave about. They're an aggressive looking all season.
From what I've seen by Googling "Toyo 357200" the price on the SL's is around $390 per tire - a little less than the LT version.
The Michelin Defender Platinum doesn't have the look my wife wants. It was originally at the top of my list (not in part because I could get them at Costco), but when I showed my wife she said they looked like any other tire. She wants TIRES that say "I can go anywhere."
