Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE
i once rode my 40mm P Zero Race TLR on gravel all day on 15 psi and no puncture. built like a tank.
Have Yakima ski rack on roof cross bars (empty today). Factory Pirelli Scorpion tires (they were great in the blizzard last week despite all the complaints on the interwebz about them).
I got the new Bridgestones from Tirerack, I really like them.
Had the Pirellis on my A4 for about 2 years and honestly they're pretty solid. The noise difference isn't huge unless you're super sensitive to it, but the fuel efficiency gains are real.
I bought 4 new Bridgestone Turanzas the next day and it was like driving a completely different car.
I've got the Pirelli AS Plus 3 on my Rav4 - great tire.
Hoping the Bridgestones are better in the wet on this new compound. I hate swapping from yokes to stones and mess up my timing.
I've got Bridgestone Turanza T005s and I like driving with them, they grip well, but I lost two tires in a year. One was during normal driving on a mountain road, maybe I hit the curb, I don't know what's the point if you can't offroad an SUV, and the second was when I was offroading. The sidewalls on these tires are super thin.
Both sets of Pirellis I've had on my trucks were absolute shit after 10-15k miles.
if you have R1S with original pirellis tires over 10/15k miles - getting new tires will make a HUGE difference in ride quality - this is the consensus in the forums - the factory tires don't last and it makes rivian ride rough and loud sooner than most of us are used to.
