Tires with Kevlar

I'm not sure how that will help since the load on the tires on the truck will likely be 3 times what a Jeep carries.

In any case, I'd go with higher rated tires with sidewall protection and lugs like Gritdog suggests.. Kevlar will cut just like rubber.

I'm sure tires with Kevlar are good quality but I'd bet it's more marketing than performance. Again, billions of non Kevlar tires out getting pounded on daily.
For off road protection, heaviest load rating you can stuff in the wheel wells and IMO MT type tires with big lugs and side lugs offer a bit more distance and protection between rocks and the meat of the tire.

Been running the top line GY with Kevlar for 10+ years. (AT Adventure not MT-R) Mostly run on pavement but have served well in mud, snow, sand, gravel etc. Have run hundreds of miles off pavement in the desert including Death Valley where the warnings suggest taking two spares. Lots of miles on sharp rocks and mild rock hopping. No issues.

No experience with Kevlar in tires, but it was the dilemma when I was buying canoe to carry on roof of my TC.
Fiberglass or plastic canoe weights about 90 lb for 16' size, what seem light for me at the time, till I tried to carry it 1/3 mile to the lake.
Finally I was able to find used Wenonah canoe, who build with Kevlar makes just above 40 lb. Whole World of difference in this application.
Coming to tires, don't think couple of lb difference will be worth the top dollars for average user, but some buyers might go for it.
Rocks will damage the rubber before they damage the reinforcement, so I don't see how that might affect your use?
