New Wheels and Tires: Black Rhino + Open Country AT 3 EV Tires

[SNBI18]

After weeks long of bothering you all on here about offsets and tire sizes. I landed on 18x9 with a +10 offset. Since I don't want to level I stayed with a 275 to avoid rubbing with that offset. 275/70r18. Went with the Open Country AT 3 EV. Yes they make a EV version of the tire.
Yes I matched my wheels to my AR

Looks great! Thank you for sharing.

Please let us know what you observe with efficiency!

What is with the shooter thing?

Nice truck pew pew accessory.

What is with the shooter thing?

The AR? Wheels and AR are same color. OD Green. It wasn't intentional. I loved the wheels, then after realized the match a few firearms I have.

Great wheels!!! Is that the removable outer ring that protects the rim from curb / rock rash?

I'm thinking of getting their new Xplorer wheels which are 17" - hope they fit.

Yes sir, it's a "rock ring".

I just replaced with Cooper Discoverer Road + Trail AT 275/60/20 after 40k miles. I love the tires and how they look on the truck but WHOLLY, it looks like I'm taking a 12%-15% hit on efficiency. I'm thinking these will only be my winter tires. I can't afford that hit when I'm towing my rv.

Wow that's a big difference. I haven't noticed any decreases that are quantifiable. Before the set up on my ER I'd get 275 miles avg in 60-70 degrees with a 90% charge. And this morning after a 90% charge I'm reading 265. But now daily temps have dropped 20-30 degrees.

I've had them for less than a week but the efficiency drop is noticeable. Before, highway speeds between 65-70, my efficiency would be between 2.0-2.2 mi/kwh. Over the last few days, I've noticed that I'm averaging 1.7 - 1.9 mi/kwh, rarely touching 2.0.

I wonder if the "EV enhancements" they put into the At3 EV tires are helping. It would cool to have two trucks, one with the EV at3 and another with regular at3 and track efficiency.
