I like the all-steel cased commercial grade tires like the Michelin Rib or in our case we run a set of Bridgestone Duravis R238s. All LT225/75R-16 tires have to pass the same testing in the NHTSA FMVSS 139 test. But I believe you get more design margin in a heavier all-steel cased commercial tire. The all-steel cased tires weigh 9-10 lbs more per tire than the non-steel cased tires and I like riding on 25% more tire.
Our previous set we ran for 8 years, a set of Bridgestone Duravis M895s. Great tires, never let us down but no longer offered by Bridgestone. M+S rated unlike our current All-Season tires. Similar to the no longer available Goodyear G947 RSS Armor MAX. I don’t know of any good all-steel cased commercial M+S tires. Possibly the Michelin XPS Traction which had a more aggressive tread.
