I have nearly 50k on my 2019 rebel I bought new. I still have the duratracks that came on the truck. I like the looks of the tire and I thought they didnt seem all that loud. Ill probably just get them again but was wondering what other brands are people getting for replacements.

I went with Nitto Trail Grapplers. I don't put many miles on per year and wanted a capable tire for varied conditions. I've had some variation of Nittos on 3 Rams and have never had a problem with the brand.
I had these on my tundra and they were a good tire

Defender LTX here as well. I don't do anything that requires all the aggressive all terrains I would always buy... even though those all look way nicer than the Defenders. So far it's been a really nice tires in snow, wet and dry and it's very quiet. I've seen a small increase in mpg as well.
I dumped the Goodyears at less than 10k miles and went to the Cooper Discoverer ST MAXX tire. It performs just as well as the Duratracs but has far better on road manners.

New Cooper Tires
I only had 10k on the factory Goodyear tires but they were a bit louder than I cared for. Sold them for $500. I replaced with Cooper Discoverer ST MAXX tires. I ran a set of these in 37s on a Jeep and a couple sets on half ton trucks. They're markedly quieter than the Goodyears and I have...

On my first Rebel I replaced worn duratracs with BFG A/T KO2's without the three snowflake things. I wanted the white letters on the outside but they were great for daily driving and quiet. Only downside is they dont have that little outcropping lip thing near the rim which is supposed to protect the rim from curb rash. I'm probably going to get the same tires when the current set gives up the ghost.

I wanted a "less aggressive" tread pattern as I do almost no off-roading, but I wanted an LT tire for towing our TT. I ultimately decided on the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015's. So far (~6,000 miles) I really like them. They are quiet and have a comfortable ride. They did make things ever so slightly more rough, but I also have a Hellwig sway bar set to the stiffest setting. I really don't mind a truck that drives like a truck.

I had these on my Toyota 4Runner. Solid tire, comparable to the BFG KO2's which I've had on multiple vehicles. Very good in dry, rain or snow. The one thing I noticed with the Falken's is the rubber is a softer compound and wears much more quickly than the BFG's. YMMV.
I want to throw my support for this thread because I am also looking for a set of tires to augment my K02’s for 3 season driving, hoping to increase my mileage. I’m doing about 12,000 a year, mostly local. Any advice will be appreciated. Driving a 2021 Bighorn. TIA!
