I researched the GY Silent Armor and was worried about the noise from the "AT" design. It was unwarranted. I got nearly 40K with them. Since then I've exclusively used the Kelly Edge AT. They are just as durable as the GY Silent Armor, last just as long and I buy them and get them installed at the US Army post exchange at Fort Bragg, At the post exchange they are discounted about 15%, and no tax. So, for me, they are about $900.00 out the door for all six. They may be a little higher there now, it's been about 3 years since the last replacement.
There is a major Kelly truck tire plant at Fayetteville. My younger brother has worked there for many years. If you're ever in the area take a plant tour. It's impressive. (I've also toured the Michelin plant near Greenville, SC).

I am in the same boat with miles/wear. Got a 2016 SRW 350 and first set of Mich Defenders lasted 24k, got some Bstone K02’s. Have 17-18k now and 2 are ready to replace and the other 2 are not far behind
I don’t understand how folks are getting some of the miles i hear. I will check out what you posted as well as the Sailuns, not sure if they have in a 20” or jot
