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

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

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.

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.
