All I know is I used to have fairly common rock punctures off road and some even on ordinary gravel roads. Since I went with the beefier tire carcess, none since.
Paul, so how did you come up with, or locate, a more beefier carcass?
Our 11,800 lb. 24 foot Class C motorhome's weight probably requires about 65 lbs. in the four rear tires and maybe 65 lbs. in the two front tires ... per official weight versus pressure charts. These pressures are just outside what Load Range D tires would handle.
Disregarding my Load Range and/or ply rating approach, what mud and snow tread tires in Load Range E would be more beefier than my M&S2 Michelin Load Range E tires ... and how would one come up with such a recommendation?
My approach says upgrade to Load Range G and/or higher ply rating mud & snow tires and run them at the same 65 lbs. all around to get more beefiness, but the experts in this discussion say to use criteria other than upgraded Load Range or higher ply rating in order to locate tires with increased beefiness. What are the other quantitative tire standards criteria I should use for beefiness shopping so as to not have to rely on manufacturers' marketing hype to locate more beefy tires?
