So, I'm about 4500 miles on my cybertruck but on my 3rd set of tire! 
. I am an accidental tire-tester I guess.
Here's my observations in brief.
- The stock tire AT 20" is a fantastic tire for the cybertruck handling almost anything you can through at it. It is reasonably quiet and performs well both at high speeds and offroad. For everyday driving, hard to beat these.
- The Duratrac RTs are probably the best looking tire for the CT as a replacement to the stock tire in the same size. They look SO meaty and good. I put some long highway miles on them, ran them in the mud and push them to their limit in snow and ice. They really excel in all conditions. But they are 10% louder on the highway than stock and they aren't nearly as grippy on ice as you'd expcet for a single season tire (because they arent).
- Blizzaks are the surprise here, they are quieter than the RTs and drive better, way smoother yet they handle better than the RTs which is a shocker. I took two passes across the bennington over pass in southern VT last night (over, back, over back) between 9 and 11pm in 4 degree temps with black ice and snow paths - the blizzaks were feeling 100% secure, they were secure, incredible actually.
To me, you could rank the tires based on the 'push' in turns, but for my average aggressive driving we are splitting hairs - all felt great and reasonable.
- If you aren't going to see snow or really go off the pavement, except for 1-2 a year, stay with the stocks you have.
- If you are going to see some snowy conditions and mud more often, you can get by with the duratracks and look bada$$! But expect a bit less range and extra noise.
- If you are a weekend warrior to ski resorts, the only answer: Blizzaks, which don't look as cool, but they are going to get you home safe everytime.
So the way I see it
- 90% of the time driving, Stock is great
- 9% of the time for the Duratracs are gonna rock
- 1% of the time blizzaks for ice are mandatory
I am solving for the 1% of the time. The 1% of the miles I put on my truck are treacherous icy conditions but it is for those miles I have to have a snow tire. However, I am super delighted to find out that the other 99% of the miles are great too! Soft, quiet, comfortable. 50psi works great on them.
Oh - in April I am going to flip the switch back to Duratracs for my 3 season tire. Cause they are... BAD A$$
This might only help 1% of this forum, but thats who it's for! Cheers!
