Question about CT tire types

[AC5]

I just replaced my OEM tires with 25,500 miles driven with front and rear tires at 3mm (wear markers reached). I installed Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent tires for $2248 including alignment (Belle Tire). I chose these tires as a good compromise between off-road performance and low highway noise. The noise is no more noticeable than the OEM tires. These are rated 60,000 miles, E load rating, and have the 3PMSF symbol (three peak mountain snowflake). I like the look of the tire.

I am looking at the same tires for my CT. The OEM Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires are almost done after only 20k miles. They are already to the wear line.

I have had a terrible experience with the Pirelli's. Both front tires were punctured driving on a gravel road, and I just had to fix a rear tire with a small nail. Luckily, for the front 2 tires, I was able to find a very friendly Walmart tire center that was able to patch the punctures, even though the puncture spidered from the hole itself. Thank God for those tire techs. The other was a quick plug from my local tire shop.

I am never buying Pirelli's. They suck.

If you drive gravel roads frequently, do overlanding, or drive in snow this looks like a great option…see post #19

I can't find any reviews of this tire. Given my previous experience with Pirelli's, I think I will stick with the Bridgestones. I have used Bridgestones on my previous trucks as well, and always had a good experience with them.

They had a few reviews online. Seems to come out slightly ahead of the KO3s across the board in a few of them. These will be next set once I am through the OEM.

They don't sound any louder than the OEM A/T tires that I replaced which is something I sought in making my choice. My spare is a BFG K02. The Dueler tread looks like it will have similar traction off road and in snow.

We are in a little larger different situation than most. We live off-grid, 14 miles down a Arizona washboard dirt road, with 1.5 mile rough driveway. In the 2 years, 25,000 miles with our Foundation series, we have had at least 9 flats due to debris on the road. We have the OEM Goodyear tires.

We are thinking of replacing them with an E load rating, and am looking for info on the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W LT285/65/20 or the Toyo Open Country A/T III LT285/65R20. Noise is not a problem, durability is our main concern. Would love to know what the hive mind would suggest in our situation.

How do you decide? We don't really need care about aesthetic, I just hate changing tires in 100degrees on the side of the road!! Half the bed is taken up with the spare, and the frunk is filled with jack, torque wrench and air compressor!!
