The only 16" tire listed is the XPS Rib which is a steel belted tire, vs the LTX fabric belted.
Below is the website link for Michelin's 16 inch LTX M/S2 tire.
The M/S2 is a steel belted tire in the tread area. The XPS Rib has steel in the sidewalls too - which the M/S2 does not. The XPS Rib has a fairly smooth highway tread, while the M/S2 of course has a more aggressive "Mud & Snow" tread (while still carrying a superb 70,000 mile treadwear warranty):
