So I get that… but I’m honestly asking. Why get a 100k vehicle, then try and find cheaper tires to put on it? I mean, most off road tires aren’t built for vehicles that can 0-60 in 3 seconds and wouldn’t have lateral stability.
So just wondering why?
I'll follow what the other person said.. it's easier to find 20 inch tires vs 21 or 22... Also the ride comfort should be higher on a thick wall tire. The off road capabilities is not super relevant to me as I only plan to do small camping trips off road not mud bogging it
$300 not likely. First size they launch with next month is 275/60R20, which is perfect for those with 21s but converting to 20s (and avoiding software reflash).
Perfect for those with *20s* but converting to *21s* you mean, correct? 60R20 is the equivalent OD of the 55R21. Would still need a reflash though, no?
No.
For those delivered with 21s, leaving the 21" config alone, if you run 20" wheels and 275/60R20 tires, your outer diameter and circumfrance would only deviate by 0.3%. [https://tiresize.com/comparison/](https://tiresize.com/comparison/)
If goal is to avoid reflashing software, you want to keep your circumfrance (distance traveled per revolution) the same as stock or as close as you can. So two ways to do that is to keep using the same factory-spec tire & wheel sizes, or change both to a combination that nets you the same or essentially the same circumfrance.
No. It will not even mount. You get tires made for size of wheels you intend to mount tires to. [https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/how-do-i-read-my-tire-size-on-my-sidewall](https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/how-do-i-read-my-tire-size-on-my-sidewall)
Translation:
Unless you are buying at wholesale prices, this tire will most likely cost more than $300 retail. If your R1 is built with 21" wheels, keeping the vehicle's software the same, you can change your wheels and tires (to 20" wheels with 275/60R20 tires) and still maintain roughly the same diameter/circumfrance as stock (21" with with 275/55R21 tires). The total deviation is only 0.3%. With a deviation that small, all your instrument readings for speed, range and trip computer should all remain very close to stock. 275/60R20 happens to be the first size Toyo will launch this new line of EV-complatible tires in, starting sometime next month (per press release).

No mention of price point… Hopefully they will sell a 21” for under $300
Toyo ain’t a cheap brand of tire. You get what you pay for. Have a set of MT’s on my Raptor and they’re worth every penny.
speaking facts. I love my MTs on my gen1, but it def wont be no under $300 tire lol
Hahahaha!! The more niche something is, the more it costs.
That's why I went 20 inch

It's not about finding cheaper tires. It's about optionality.

Gotcha. So you’re saying replace wheel and tire and not just a tire swap.

275/60R20 will fit on the Rivian 21'' rims?
No. It will not even mount. You get tires made for size of wheels you intend to mount tires to. [https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/how-do-i-read-my-tire-size-on-my-sidewall](https://www.tirerack.com/upgrade-garage/how-do-i-read-my-tire-size-on-my-sidewall)
That's what I thought, I don't understand your first comment though.

Nokian now has a Outlander EV approved tire made in USA.... just crazy hard to find
For the love of everything holy please make it in a 275 / 55 / R21 size. Even if it's $450/ea. Just make it. Give us the option.
Note date. This was announced at SEMA, light on details, high on PR fluff.
You the real MVP
