It is all well maintained hard top road all the way from the US border to Fairbanks, except 13Km between Watson Lake and Whitehorse and that was very smooth,
So any good street tread should work fine.
^This. If you're just taking the Alcan straight to AK. Road isn't bad (frost heaves are). Only risk is distance between services, not likelihood of puncturing a tire.
You want to gear up for what you do that is NOT on the highway. The Denali, Dalton, Mc Carthy Rd etc.
If funds allow, I'd shoe that 150 with some good E load ATs or Mudders, pick your favorite brand.
We just got back, 90% of the highways are paved. the unpaved are no worse than the dirt roads of Texas.
Biggest problem going up this time of year are the fires of northern BC
anyone running the dirt roads of Alaska this time of year deserve all the dust they can eat :)
