Duratracs getting loud?

They do look nice. Thanks for the pics!!!
I am a few months away from swapping, I will hit you up for an update then!
I've had the Dueler AT Ascents on for the summer, fall, and first snow fall (12"+) last week.
I still love the ride comfort, the bump absorption, the steering, handling, and on-center feel..no wander at all. They are a super well rounded AT in all respects!
PLUS, last week we had our first snow of the year and it was 12"+!! The Ascents absolutely shocked me..they were flawless in every way.
The snow hadn't been plowed, so I had to plow through it in 4x4 High and had to use the G/T's paddle shifters to keep the gears/revs at about 2000-2500rpm range (in auto it wanted to drop down to 1500rpm and felt boggy then). Also, I always drive to Tow/Haul and have 3.92 posi.
The Ascents never slipped one time, even going up/down hills or around corners, and even when I tried to brake hard..the ABS didn't kick in..incredible!
When we headed home a few hours later (friend's Celebration of Life), as I pulled up our driveway, I purposely switched it to 2WD and it still plowed through fine. I have a 90° left turn into my garage..I stopped, throttled the gas, and the rear did slide around 90° to line up with my stall, then drove in.
Fantastic tires!

**I should add, in the summer I felt 39F/36R psi was best, but recently adjusted that down to 36F/33R (after I relifted my truck another about 0.75" all around) and the ride got much better yet! Even smoother ride, no increase in tread noise, steering still tight, etc. Did a 360 mile trip last week at about 75-80mph and was very comfortable.

I currently have a 2020 rebel w/33k miles & it’s my 3 rd rebel. All 3 have had the duras when I bought them & I will not being going back with them. I’ve read mixed reviews on balancing issues & wet traction on the KO3s. I’m between the Toyo AT3, nitto terra g3 & the falken AT4. My hold up with the falken is weight, possibly being just as loud or louder than the duras & ride quality.
AT4W are quiet, yes weight might be an issue for some. So far I'm impressed with them. I ran AT3W on previous vehicle.
 
I have Duratracks in my Rebel..yes they are loud but I'm going to be getting some wheels and tires here in the next couple months.
Going with 20x10 and not sure the size. Either 295/60/20 or....I think I may be able to fit 35x12.5 on it. Real soon I'll be doing the Bilsteins to level the truck and I think I'll be fine.
305/60/20 would be perfect but nobody has that size.
Some 35s are actually under 35" by 3/8 or even a 1/2"
The Nitto Terra Grappler G3 will have 35s available 1st quarter of 2026 and they are one that are actually 34.55 or something according to their website.

But man, the name brand tires are freaking expensive these days.
