Tires Uniroyal or Goodyear
The tires are good, BTW. I had them on my old car and was going in circles around others who apparently cheaped out on their tires. Like, had to help get a 4WD pick-up truck out of a ditch at one point.
I ran some good year winter tires for 8 winters before without issue.
Goodyear Ultragrip was good on RWD 535d, tuned
Change to Uniroyal Rainsport 5s. Honestly the best tyre for an SUV. You will conquer snow with them. Probably the best tyres, my V60 and RS4 have them.
So glad I made the move. The scorpions were awful and loud. Very happy with our GYs and they still look more like an AT but we have definitely had an efficiency increase
I haven\u2019t had to get tires for mine yet but at the dealership where I work I install a ton of the Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires on these cars it\u2019s our number one seller and everyone tells me they are quiet and ride like pillows.
I moved to the Goodyear Wrangler Territory ATs. They're a smidge smaller at 33in (stock is 34in), and they are NOT an LT tire. There is a Rivian specific model of this tire, so be specific when ordering. They're significantly quieter on pavement, but still have the AT look. They also maintain the 3PMS rating (which is why I wanted to stay with an AT). I go off-roading a few times a year, and will be testing these off pavement in a few weeks. Most users report good to excellent traction as compared to stockers. Effeciency is largely the same. Environmental factors and angle of your right foot have a bigger impact on range than the tire swap as best I can tell.
The Goodyear eagle touring is a decent midrange tire. I had them for a while, no complaints other than a bit of road noise.
The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.
I had the Goodyears as OEM and they kind of sucked.
