When did you change your tire (mileage / average life)?

20" AT's. Wasn't kind to them, as most weren't after first receiving their Rivians.

 

[Dave Cundiff]

We have Michelin winter and OEM Pirelli summer tires for both Rivians. Just eyeballing records and treadwear, I think we'll get between 25K and 30K miles from the Pirellis, and probably something more than that for the Michelins.

That seems to put us solidly in the average, and maybe a little better than average. People are reporting all different mileage ranges for their tires, presumably based on temperature and usage patterns.

Best wishes!

I switched out to Michelin Defenders at 14,000 miles from the original Pirelli AT's. 50% tread left but the noise was unbearable. Free to a good (or bad) home if anyone wants them.

Well this "poll" isn't going to help you do that - the way this "poll" is structured ensures you won't be able to form a conclusion. For example, you haven't factored in tire size - which is a huge problem because they are all different models and types of tires. And there's a presumption in the question that all respondents have replaced their tires - that biases the data. And failing to give equal weight to wear of more than 35k (40k, 45k, 50k, 55k, 60k, etc. are all just lumped together with 35k?) means any calculation of a "typical" wear will be biased towards the low end.

Likewise, the vast majority of answers you're going to get are from people who have experienced premature wear, because the vast majority of owners haven't driven enough to wear out a set of tires. Additionally, excessive tire wear is almost always NOT because of the tires, but because of alignment, driving habits, etc. Tire wear is a known way to diagnose these things, rather than to be indicative of a problem with the tires.

There is no way for me to answer this question for example. I have owned my R1T for more than 2.5 years, and have driven more than 30,000 miles, and all my tires are still 7/32 or 8/32. 20" OEM. No increase in "noise". They are not nearly ready for replacement yet, and won't be for some time.

Any "result" you get or conclusion you draw from this poll will be false, and the mere conduct of a flawed poll like this simply results in a flood of noise, rather than a contribution to the signal.

So if you are interested in finding out the actual tread life, you're going to have to do a lot better. If you are just interested in the "opinion" of the loudest whiners, then keep doing what you're doing.

I’m currently at ~28,000 miles on my original Pirelli 20” AT tires, with about 10,000 of those miles towing, and probably another 10k on Conserve. A few instances of rock crawling, a few beach driving. No track use, only 3-4 short “full acceleration” runs. (Once while towing an 8000 lb trailer.) Have only had my tires rotated once (at 22,500.)

Still have about half my tread left.

I am at 26K on 20" AT. 5 tire rotation. About 1/2 life - almost all on road, a few times on a beach and 1 off road trip.. Also have 3 plugs on 2 tires. I hate them.

 

[Rivianero]

Also interested in results.

I'm still on my original '21s at 16k with a rotation at 10k. Vehicle sat in a salvage lot for 8 months so it's a bit of an outlier.

 

[electruck]

My alignment was waaay off from the factory so burned through the first set of 22s in 10k miles.

 

[SANZC02]

I replaced my Pirelli 22s at 28.5k with 3/32 left. I could have gone over 30k but was going on a long trip, would have been over 35k when I got home, did not think I could get to 35k.

Have over 8k on my Michelins, they appear to be wearing much better, very happy with them.

Since you didn't state anything about size, you won't get a useful answer. In the past I had an AI look through this forum to get averages on the AT tires, and it was 30k to MUST replace and under 20k for "noisy and replaced."

TL;DR: I haven’t “changed” mine yet.

I'm at 32K on original 20"ATs and will probably need to replace them before a big road trip in July. I started a 5 tire rotation once I got my spare at 13K. I put Blizzaks on this winter for 4K miles, and I cringed a little to put the ATs back on, as I knew I wasn't going to enjoy the Pirelli drone coming back.

Ooh this one is useful for me.
I just hit 6/32 with a couple of 5/32 spots on my 22s and am at 22k miles. Rotated and rebalanced twice so far. Doing basic math I think I can get over 5k more miles, but timing is inconvenient since I’ll be doing a lot of road tripping soon.
Seeing the poll results show that a majority of drivers are getting over 20k per set with a sweet spot seemingly above 25k is encouraging. I’ll probably try the Nokian One when the time comes.

Tire tread depths range from 10/32 to 18/32 or even a little more.

10/32 tread may last ~20k miles down to 2/32 and a 16/32 might last 40-50k miles with proper rotations, balancing, and good alignment. Lead footers prob. see 10-15k less miles on average.

while it’s slightly debated, Rivian mobile service told me that using conserve will wear out the front tires and I’ve confirmed as much testing. Maybe if you are extremely careful using conserve it might not have a huge impact…
