Tire experts: Are the CT tires good for gravel roads?

[ituner-HF]

I dove my Model Y to Prudhoe Bay and back using standard 18" tires and during the trip I lost a tire by driving almost ~1,000 miles on Dalton HWY. Basically 60% gravel+potholes, 40% asphalt road

I would like to do a similar trip on Dempster HWY, this time with Cybertruck.

Are the Cybertruck tires any good with sharp rocks / gravel roads? Should I haul a spare tire or not? It takes a lot of space!

Just to give you a sense of driving on Dalton: Out of 5 Teslas 3 had a flat tire. Also, out of 2 Rivians, none had tire issues. A Hummer EV also didn't have any tire issues.

Thanks!

How do you almost lose a tire?

I just looked it up, the Dempster appears to be hard packed gravel. That's what the Richardson was, 20 years ago, and I took a rental up it. It was a 60+ mph road, no big deal on the tires.

The Cybertruck Foundation Series has All-Terrain tires and seem to be relatively happy on gravel.
It may also be impacted on the last time road maintenance was done.

Interesting. Thanks. I looked up my Cybertruck tire markings and they have the same abbreviation "LT".
