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.
