3 ply Poly sidewall!!!! This is one heavy duty tire. The 235/85R16 weighs a pound more at 52 pounds. However, as Jimnlin states it is not in the same league as the steel carcass Rib or R250.
I would put it in a true commercial grade poly carcass class with the Bridgestone Duravis R500 HD that I just installed on my TV and reviewed.
With a 3 ply sidewall it might ride rougher than the steel ply sidewall tires, as I noted the two pile sidewall R500 rides a bit rough. Most poly carcass LT's are a single ply sidewall.

Cheap! I would be interested to know how well they balance, keep us informed.
